Перевод песни Johnny Cash - 25 minutes to go

Well they’re building a gallows outside my cell

I’ve got 25 minutes to go

And the whole town’s waitin’ just to hear me yell

I’ve got 24 minutes to go

Well they gave me some beans for my last meal

I’ve got 23 minutes to go

But nobody asked me how I feel

I’ve got 22 minutes to go

Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch

With 21 minutes to go

And I sent for the mayor but he’s out to lunch

I’ve got 20 more minutes to go

Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die

Got 19 minutes to go

So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye

Got 18 minutes to go

Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul

With 13 minutes to go

And he’s talking about’ burnin’ but I’m so cold

I’ve 12 more minutes to go

Now they’re testin’ the trap and it chills my spine

11 more minutes to go

And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine

Got 10 more minutes to go

Well I’m waitin’ on the pardon that’ll set me free

With 9 more minutes to go

But this is for real so forget about me

Got 8 more minutes to go

With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose

Got 5 more minutes to go

Won’t somebody come and cut me loose

With 4 more minutes to go

I can see the mountains I can see the skies

With 3 more minutes to go

And it’s to dern pretty for a man that don’t wanna die

2 more minutes to go

I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows

1 more minute to go

And now I’m swingin’ and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
