Letra
On my way out to the gold mines
Crossing the western hills
Me and my little dog, Clyde
And a horse named Prancing Bill
I slept under the stars
I heard the coyotes sing
And the sun was a golden coin
Shining just for me
(The sun shone just for me)
But high up in the mountains
Bill began to foam
And I was whipped and tugged him
He bucked against his load
Round a hairpin turn
The wagon tumbled o’er
And down the jagged rock
Bill fell with all I own
(He fell with all I own)
As the sun died out
The coyotes began to pout
Little Clyde’s head rose
And answered with a growl
But when I bent to call him
He snapped at me and ran
And then I was alone
In the silent rocks and sand
(The silent rocks and sand)
By my fifth day of walking
I was crawling on my knees
Eating handful of dust
From between the dying weeds
I lay down in the dirt
As the sun lost her glow
But I was welcomed in the dark
By the song of a hundred toads
(The song of a hundred toads)
(The song of a hundred toads)
(The song of a hundred toads)
Tradução da letra
A caminho das minas de ouro
Atravessando as Colinas Ocidentais
Eu e o meu cãozinho, Clyde.
E um cavalo chamado Prancing Bill
Dormi debaixo das estrelas
Ouvi os coiotes a cantar
E o sol era uma moeda de ouro
Brilhando só para mim
(The sun shone just for me)
Mas no alto das montanhas
Bill começou a espumar
E fui chicoteado e puxado por ele
Ele virou - se contra a sua carga.
Vira um gancho de cabelo
A carroça caiu
And down the jagged rock
O Bill caiu com tudo o que tenho
(He fell with all I own)
Quando o sol se apagou
Os coiotes começaram a amuar
Rosa da cabeça de Little Clyde
E respondeu com um rugido
Mas quando me dobrei para chamá-lo
Ele passou-se comigo e fugiu.
E então eu estava sozinho
Nas rochas silenciosas e na areia
(The silent rocks and sand)
No meu quinto dia de caminhada
Estava a rastejar de joelhos.
Comer um punhado de pó
Entre as ervas daninhas moribundas
Deitei-me na terra
Enquanto o sol perdia o seu brilho
Mas fui bem-vinda no escuro.
Pela canção de cem sapos
(A canção de cem sapos)
(A canção de cem sapos)
(A canção de cem sapos)
