Dear Mrs. Roosevelt(original) |
| Dear Mrs. Roosevelt, don’t hang your head and cry |
| His mortal flesh is laid away but his good work fills the sky |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| Now he went up to grade school and he wrote back to his folks |
| He drew such funny pictures and was always pulling jokes |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| He went up to Harvard to read his books of law |
| He loved his trees and horses, he loved everything he saw |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| He got struck down by the fever and it settled in his leg |
| He loved the folks that wished him well and everybody did |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| He took office on a crippled leg and he said to one and all |
| «Your money changing racket, boys, sure enough got to fall.» |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| I voted for him lots of times and I’d vote for him again |
| He tried to find an honest job for every idle man |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| He helped me to build my union and he learned me how to talk |
| I could see he was a cripple but he learned my soul to talk |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| I was a GI in the army the day he passed away |
| And over my shoulder I could hear some soldier say |
| «This world was lucky to see him born.» |
| I know this world was lucky just to see him born |
| I know this world was lucky just to see him born |
| This world was lucky to see him born |
| (traducción) |
| Querida Sra. Roosevelt, no agaches la cabeza y llores |
| Su carne mortal está guardada pero su buena obra llena el cielo. |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
| Ahora fue a la escuela primaria y le escribió a sus padres |
| Hizo dibujos tan divertidos y siempre estaba haciendo bromas. |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
| Fue a Harvard a leer sus libros de derecho. |
| Amaba sus árboles y caballos, amaba todo lo que veía |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
| Le cayó encima la fiebre y se le asentó en la pierna |
| Amaba a las personas que le deseaban lo mejor y todos lo hicieron. |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
| Asumió el cargo con una pierna lisiada y dijo a todos y cada uno |
| «Su raqueta de cambio de dinero, muchachos, efectivamente se cayó». |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
| Lo voté muchas veces y lo volvería a votar |
| Trató de encontrar un trabajo honesto para cada hombre ocioso |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
| Me ayudó a construir mi sindicato y me enseñó a hablar |
| Pude ver que era un lisiado, pero aprendió mi alma a hablar. |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
| Yo era un soldado en el ejército el día que falleció. |
| Y sobre mi hombro pude escuchar a un soldado decir |
| «Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer». |
| Sé que este mundo tuvo suerte solo de verlo nacer |
| Sé que este mundo tuvo suerte solo de verlo nacer |
| Este mundo tuvo suerte de verlo nacer |
