Текст песни Johnny Cash - Tears In The Holston River

TEARS IN THE HOLSTON RIVER 
Written & Recorded by: Johnny Cash 
Capo 2

On October Twenty-Third, Nineteen Seventy-Eight 
I lost a loved one and I confess I cried 
In the joyous cele-bration of the lady and her music 
There were tears in the Holston River 
When Maybelle Carter died 

Then walking down that river road 
I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets           
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river side 
And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds 
For the love that was behind 'em 
There were tears in the Holston River 
When Mother Maybelle died 

Then on Janu-ary  Eighth, Nineteen-Seventy-Nine 
We lost Sara Carter 
And the pain was multi-plied 
Down be-low that old Clinch Mountain 
We laid her at Mount Vernon 
There were tears in the Holston River 
When Sara Carter died 

Then walking down that river road 
I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets 
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river-side 
And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds 
For the love that was behind 'em 
There were tears in the  Holston River 
When Maybelle & Sara died 

There were tears in the Holston River 
When Mother Maybelle and Sara Carter died
