Guy Clark - The Death of Sis Draper [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
Sis Draper had a guitar player
Named Kentucky Sue
And everywhere old Sis played
Sue was picking too
They worked their way from town to town
Fiddled their way out west
And every place she blew through
They said she was the best
They played the dances, played the bars
Beneath the Western stars
Sis was getting on in years
She lived it pretty hard
Burned both ends of the candle
And broke many a heart
Now out in Old New Mexico
Snowstrom coming on
They thought they’d just wait it out
And play the El Patron
Now some old gal with coal black eyes
Was in a jealous tiff
She was quite sure her old man
Was slipping round with Sis
She was a waitress at the El Patron
Out on the edge of town
She poisoned Sis’s whiskey
And Sis just drank it down
Sis started feeling poorly
So she laid her fiddle down
Out behind the El Patron
They dug a shallow grave
Laid her down beneath the ground
The fiddle in the coffin case
The fiddle in the coffin case
Kentucky Sue played Shady Grove
On her old beat-up guitar
Tears rolling down her face
She took it pretty hard
Now somewhere in the distance
You could hear the mission bells
Some folks go to heaven
Some folks go to heaven
Sis Draper went to Arkansas
That’s all there is to tell
