| I’m singing you the ballad
| te estoy cantando la balada
|
| Of a great man of the cloth
| De un gran hombre de la tela
|
| His name was Harry Lewis
| Su nombre era Harry Lewis.
|
| And he worked for Irving Roth
| Y trabajó para Irving Roth
|
| He died while cutting velvet
| Murió cortando terciopelo
|
| On a hot July the 4th
| En un caluroso 4 de julio
|
| But his cloth goes shining on
| Pero su tela sigue brillando
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| His cloth goes shining on
| Su tela sigue brillando
|
| Oh Harry Lewis perished
| Oh, Harry Lewis pereció
|
| In the service of his Lord
| Al servicio de su Señor
|
| He was trampling through the warehouse
| Estaba pisoteando el almacén
|
| Where the drapes of Roth are stored
| Donde se almacenan las cortinas de Roth
|
| He had the finest funeral
| Tuvo el mejor funeral.
|
| The union could afford
| El sindicato podía permitirse
|
| And his cloth goes shining on
| Y su tela sigue brillando
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| His cloth goes shining on
| Su tela sigue brillando
|
| Although a fire was raging
| Aunque un incendio estaba furioso
|
| Harry stood by his machine
| Harry estaba junto a su máquina
|
| And when the firemen broke in
| Y cuando los bomberos irrumpieron
|
| They discovered him between
| Lo descubrieron entre
|
| A pile of roasted Dacron
| Un montón de Dacron asado
|
| And some french fried gabardine
| Y un poco de gabardina frita
|
| His cloth goes shining on
| Su tela sigue brillando
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| Glory, glory Harry Lewis
| Gloria, gloria harry lewis
|
| His cloth goes shining on | Su tela sigue brillando |
