| I told her that her sister Nan
| Le dije que su hermana Nan
|
| That lived in yanders holler
| Que vivía en Yanders Holler
|
| Had sent for her to come down there
| La había mandado a buscar para que bajara allí
|
| And stay one half an hour
| Y quédate una media hora
|
| CHORUS: Teer da loddle lank thee I A, I O
| CORO: Teer da loddle lank thee I A, I O
|
| As we was a-walkin' through the fields
| Mientras caminábamos por los campos
|
| She squeezed my hand with fear, sir
| Ella me apretó la mano con miedo, señor
|
| Said, «Mama, she has come this way
| Dijo: "Mamá, ella ha venido por aquí
|
| And she catch us here, sir!
| ¡Y ella nos atrapa aquí, señor!
|
| «If you will climb up yanders tree
| «Si vas a trepar al árbol de yanders
|
| And see if she is near, sir
| Y ver si ella está cerca, señor
|
| Then we’ll go to that pretty grove
| Luego iremos a esa bonita arboleda
|
| And court and sport an hour.» | Y cancha y deporte una hora.» |
