Jolie Holland & Samantha Parton - Minstrel Boy [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's  gonna let him down the road?
Who's  gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down easy to save his soul?

Oh, Lucky's been driving a long, long time
And  now he's stuck on top of the hill
With  twelve forward gears, it's been a long hard climb
With all of those ladies, though, he's lonely still

Who's  gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down the road?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down easy to save his soul?

Oh  just he's been gone now more than twenty years
But I think I see him coming over that tall trestle bridge
??? oh can it be true?
When your big dog feeds and your fingers tattooed

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down the road?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down easy to save his soul?

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down the road?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna throw it long and let him go home?

Oh Billy's in London singing his songs
The Carnival Angels sing along
And the lion and the tiger lyin' down with the lamb
Gonna meet you next year in Jerusalem

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down the road?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let him down easy to save his soul?
Who's gonna let him down easy to save his soul?
