Tennessee Flat Top Box - Early Mix, 1987
Tennessee Flat Top Box - Mix antérieur, 1987
In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
Dans un petit cabaret, dans une ville frontalière du sud du Texas
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around
Était assis un garçon avec sa guitare, et les gens venaient de partout
And all the girls from there to Austin
Et toutes les filles de là-bas à Austin
Were slippin' 'way from home and puttin' jewelery in hock
Partaient loin de chez elles et mettaient leurs bijoux en gage
To take the trip, to go and listen
Pour faire le voyage, aller écouter
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
Le petit garçon aux cheveux noirs qui jouait du Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
Et il jouait
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime
Bon, il ne savait ni monter à cheval ni attraper du bétail, et il n'a jamais cherché à gagner de l'argent
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time
Mais donnez-lui sa guitare, et il était heureux tout le temps
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Et toutes les filles de neuf à quatre-vingt-dix ans
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop"
Claquaient des doigts, tapaient du pied et le suppliaient : "Ne t'arrête pas"
And hypnotized and fascinated
Et hypnotisées et fascinées
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
Par le petit garçon aux cheveux noirs qui jouait du Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
Et il jouait
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round,
Puis un jour, il est parti, et personne ne l'a jamais revu,
He'd vanished like the breeze, and they forgot him in the little town.
Il avait disparu comme la brise, et ils l'ont oublié dans la petite ville.
But all the girls still dreamed about him.
Mais toutes les filles rêvaient encore de lui.
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
Et elles traînaient autour du cabaret jusqu'à ce que les portes soient fermées.
And then one day on the Hit Parade,
Et puis un jour au Hit Parade,
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.
Il y avait un petit garçon aux cheveux noirs qui jouait du Tennessee flat top box.
And he would play
Et il jouait
