Below, I translated the lyrics of the song The Ballad Of Boot Hill [Bonus Track] by Johnny Cash from German to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Here lies less more
Here read less more
Four slugs from a forty-four
Four slugs from a forty-four
No less no more
No less no more
Out in Arizona just south of Tucson
Out in Arizona just south of Tucson
Where tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home
Where tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home
There's a town they call Tombstone where the brave never cry
There's a town they call Tombstone where the brave never cry
They live by a sixgun by a sixgun they die
They live by a sixgun they die
It's been a long time now since the town was a boom
It's been a long time now since the town was a boom
The jailhouse is empty so's the Palace Saloon
The jailhouse is empty so is the Palace Saloon
Just one look will tell you that this town was real
Just one look will tell you that this town was real
A secluded old dirt road leads up to Boot Hill
A secluded old dirt road leads up to Boot Hill
Walk up to the fence there and look at the view
Walk up to the fence there and look at the view
That's where they were hanging eighteen eighty two
That's where they were hanging eighteen eighty two
It's easy to see where the brave men have died
It's easy to see where the brave men have died
Rope marks on the oak tree are now petrified
Rope marks on the oak tree are now petrified
At night when the moon shines so far away
At night when the moon shines so far away
It gets mighty lonesome lookin' down on their graves
It gets mighty lonesome lookin' down on their graves
There lies Billy Clanton never wanted to kill
There lies Billy Clanton never wanted to kill
But he's there with the guilty way up on Boot Hill
But he's there with the guilty way up on Boot Hill
