Lyrics and translation Jim Reeves - A Railroad Bum
I
used
to
be
a
railroad
bum
a
living
on
the
go
J'étais
un
clochard
des
chemins
de
fer,
vivant
sur
la
route
I
rode
freights
from
Canada
down
to
Mexico
Je
montais
les
trains
de
marchandises
du
Canada
jusqu'au
Mexique
From
sunny
Cal
to
Minnesota
where
the
rippling
waters
falls
De
la
Californie
ensoleillée
au
Minnesota,
où
les
eaux
ruissellent
I
never
seemed
to
have
a
dime
but
I
had
myself
a
ball.
Je
n'avais
jamais
un
sou
en
poche,
mais
je
m'amusais
bien.

ne
le

plus.
I
walked
in
the
Silver
Dollar
in
Reno
one
night
Je
suis
entré
au
Silver
Dollar
à
Reno
une
nuit
I
Dropped
a
quarter
in
a
one
armed
bandit
J'ai
mis
un
quart
dans
un
bandit
manchot
The
lemons
lined
up
right
Les
citrons
se
sont
alignés
Took
my
winnings
then
played
poker
J'ai
pris
mes
gains,
puis
j'ai
joué
au
poker
And
I
won
ten
thousand
more
Et
j'ai
gagné
dix
mille
de
plus

When
cotton's
white
in
Tennessee
Quand
le
coton
est
blanc
dans
le
Tennessee
And
shrimp
boats
sail
in
Maine
Et
les
bateaux
de
crevettes
naviguent
dans
le
Maine
Peach
picking
time
soon
will
find
me
ridin'
a
Georgia
train
La
saison
de
la
cueillette
des
pêches
me
trouvera
bientôt
à
bord
d'un
train
de
Géorgie
Couse
I
get
restless
when
I′m
still
I
guess
I
always
will
Parce
que
je
deviens
agité
quand
je
reste
immobile,
je
suppose
que
je
le
serai
toujours
Want
to
keep
traveling
all
my
life
over
another
hill.
Je
veux
continuer
à
voyager
toute
ma
vie,
vers
une
autre
colline.
