Bow Down Your Head And Cry

Incline a Cabeça e Chore

Bow Down Your Head And Cry

Quando desci até o rio, garoto pobre, pra ver os barcos passarAs I went down to the river poor boy to watch the ships go by
Minha amada estava na ponte de um, ela acenou pra mim, adeusMy sweetheart's stood on the deck of one she waved to me goodbye

Incline a cabeça e chore (garoto pobre), incline a cabeça e choreBow down your head and cry (poor boy) bow down your head and cry
Pare de pensar naquela mulher que você ama, incline a cabeça e choreStop thinking of that woman you love bow down your head and cry

Eu a segui por meses e meses, ela me ofereceu a mãoI followed her from months and months she offered me her hand
Estávamos prestes a nos casar quando ela fugiu com um jogadorWe were just about to get married when she ran off with a gambling man
Ele veio pra cima de mim com uma faca enorme, eu fui e o acertei com chumboHe come at me with a big jack knife I went and hit him with lead
E quando a briga acabou, garoto pobre, ele ficou ao meu lado, mortoAnd when that fight was over poor boy he laid beside me dead

Incline a cabeça e chore...Bow down your head and cry...

Me levaram pra aquela grande cadeia, os meses e meses passaramThey took me to that big jailhouse the months and months rolled by
O júri me considerou culpado, garoto pobre, e o juiz disse: você vai morrerThe jury found me guilty poor boy and the judge said yoou're gonna die
E ainda assim chamam isso de justiça, garoto pobre, então que a justiça seja feitaAnd yet they call this justice poor boy then justice let it be
Eu só matei um homem que estava prestes a me matarI only killed a man who's just a fixin' to kill me

Incline a cabeça e chore...Bow down your head and cry...
