Carole King - Goat Annie слова песни
GOAT ANNIEby Carole KingWhen I was young I used to see herHerdin` her goats on a hillsideNo one knows and she ain`t telling her ageI`d say she`s just about seventy fiveShe`s an old timerTryin` to hold on to what she`s gotThey call her Goat AnnieI still remember the storiesThe townspeople told to each otherJust because she liked her goats better than peopleThey said the devil was her brotherShe never paid them no mindShe just kept on bein` herself Goat AnnieShe`s real individualOne of a dying breedEverything she`s got right nowIs all she`ll ever needOne day the government decidedThey had to have the land she lived onThey came with the papers polite as could beThey said she had just thirty days to get goneYou could see them smirking"We`re just doin` our job hereYou understand, Goat Annie"She said 2I was born and raised hereAin`t never done wrong to no oneYou ain`t gonna throw me off my land, not me or my goats or my shotgun"Then she leveled her 12-guage with a blast she sent`em packin`Go, Goat AnnieNext day they came with the lawmenBut that didn`t get`em nowhereRather than shoot at a poor old ladyThey decided to let her live her days out thereIt doesn`t happen very oftenBut there are still some people with heartLike Goat Annie
