Текст и перевод песни Ralf Bendix - My Oldtime Banjo

My Oldtime Banjo

Damals in Texas,
Warst du schon dabei,
My Ol'time Banjo.
Nichts auf der Welt,
Kann uns trennen,
Uns zwei,
My Ol'time Banjo.
(Dom, da Dom)
Damals in der Whisky-Bar,
Wo die blonde Mary war,
Klangen deine Lieder.
Doch dann kam der schwarze Jo,
Holte sie nach Idaho.
Mary kam nicht wieder.
(Hmmm)
Damals als mein Glück entschwand,
Nahm ich dich in meine Hand,
Nachts am Lagerfeuer.
Du warst mir treuer als Mary es war,
My Ol'time Banjo.
(Dom, da, dom)
Damals in Texas,
In stern'klarer Nacht,
My Ol'time Banjo.
Haben wir manchmal gweint und gelacht,
My Ol'time Banjo.
Damals in Texas,
Warst du schon dabei,
My Ol'time Banjo.
Nichts auf der Welt,
Kann uns trennen,
Uns zwei,
Mich und my Ol'time Banjo.

(Banjo, Klavier)

My Oldtime Banjo

In Texas back then,
You were already there,
My Ol'time Banjo.
Nothing in the world,
Can separate us,
The two of us,
My Ol'time Banjo.
(Dong, da Dong)
Back then at the whiskey bar,
Where the blonde Mary was,
Your songs played.
But when that dark-haired John came,
He took her to Idaho.
Mary never returned.
(Hmmm)
Back then when fortune no longer smiled,
I took you into my hands,
At night by the campfire.
My you were more faithful than Mary was,
My Ol'time Banjo.
(Dong, da Dong)
In Texas back then,
On starlit nights,
My Ol'time Banjo.
We would laugh and sometimes cry,
My Ol'time Banjo.
In Texas back then,
You were already there,
My Ol'time Banjo.
Nothing in the world,
Can separate us,
The two of us,
Me and my Ol'time Banjo.

(Banjo, piano)
