I
received
a
letter
that
my
man
was
dyin'
J'ai
reçu
une
lettre
disant
que
mon
homme
était
mourant
I
caught
the
first
plane
and
went
home
flyin'
J'ai
pris
le
premier
avion
et

rentrée
à
la
maison
en

When
I

there
the

had
gathered
around
Quand
je
suis
arrivée,
les
gens
s'étaient
rassemblés
autour
When
I
got
there
the
folks
had
gathered
around
Quand
je
suis
arrivée,
les
gens
s'étaient
rassemblés
autour
His
eyes
was
set
and
his
face
was
full
of
frowns
Ses
yeux
étaient
fixes
et
son
visage
était
plein
de
rides
He
wasn't

slowly
dyin'
Il
n'était
pas
mort,
mais
il
était
en
train
de
mourir
lentement

wasn't
dead

he
was
slowly
dyin'
Il
n'était
pas
mort,
mais
il
était
en
train
de
mourir
lentement
And
to
think
of
him
I
just
can't
help
from
cryin'
Et
à
penser
à
lui,
je
ne
peux
pas
m'empêcher
de
pleurer
I
followed
my
daddy
to
the
buryin'
ground
J'ai
suivi
mon
papa
jusqu'à
la
fosse
commune
I
followed
my
daddy
to
the
buryin'
ground
J'ai
suivi
mon
papa
jusqu'à
la
fosse
commune
I
watched
the
pall
bearers
slowly
let
him
down
J'ai
regardé
les
porteurs
de
cercueil
le
laisser
tomber
lentement
That
was
the
last
time
I
saw
my
daddy's
face
C'était
la
dernière
fois
que
j'ai
vu
le
visage
de
mon
papa

place
