Joan Baez - Railroad Boy

She went upstairs to make her bed
And not a word to her mother said.
Her mother she went upstairs too
Saying, ''Daughter, oh daughter, what's troublin' you?Oh mother dear, I cannot tell
It's that railroad boy that I loved so well.
He courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay.

There is a place in London town
That railroad boy goes and sits down.
He takes a strange girl on his knee
And he tells to her what he won't tell me.

Her father he came home from work
Sayin', ''Where is my daughter, she seems so hurt.'He went upstairs to give her hope
An' he found her hangin' by a rope.

He took a knife and he cut her down
And on her bosom these words he found:
Go dig my grave both wide and deep,
Put a marble stone at my head and feet,
And at my breast, put a white snow dove
To tell the world that I died of love.



yatagini yapmaya ust kata cikti
ve annesine tek bir soz soylemedi
annesi de yukari cikti
" kizim ah kizim, derdin ne senin" diyerek

ah sevgili annecigim, soyleyemem
o cok sevdigim demiryolcu cocuk
o benim yasamimla oynadi
ve simdi evinde kalmiyor

bir Londra kasabasinda bir yer var
demiryolcu cocugun gidip oturdugu
tuhaf bir kizi kucagina aliyor
ve bana soylemedigi seyleri ona soyluyor

babasi isten eve geldi aksam
" kizim nerde, cok incinmis gorunuyor"dedi
yukariya ona umut vermeye cikti
ama onu bir ipte asili buldu

bir bicak aldi ve ipi kesip indirdi onu
ve bagrinda su sozleri buldu
derin ve genis kazin mezarimi
ayaklarima ve basima mermer bir tas koyun
ve gogsume kar beyazi bir guvercin
dunyaya asktan oldugumu soylemek icin
