| Willie Seton was a lad
| Willie Seton era un muchacho
|
| His age was just sixteen
| Su edad era sólo dieciséis
|
| Golden curls run down his neck
| Rizos dorados corren por su cuello
|
| The fairest ever seen

|
| His true love was the prettiest thing

|
| In the countryside
| En el campo
|
| And after Willie courted her
| Y después de que Willie la cortejó
|
| She swore to be his bride
| ella juro ser su novia
|
| He had no gold to give her dad
| No tenia oro para darle a su papa
|
| No gold to buy them land
| No hay oro para comprarles tierras
|
| And in his haste to wed his love
| Y en su prisa por casarse con su amor
|
| He joined an outlaw band
| Se unió a una banda de forajidos
|
| They ravaged all the countryside
| Asolaron todo el campo
|
| Their fortunes for to gain
| Sus fortunas para ganar
|
| Until one cold and frosty day
| Hasta que un día frío y helado
|
| They robbed the Frisco train
| Asaltaron el tren de Frisco
|
| The train guard lost his life that day
| El guardia del tren perdió la vida ese día.
|
| But just before he died
| Pero justo antes de morir
|
| He fired a deadly pistol ball
| Disparó una bala de pistola mortal
|
| In Willie Seton’s side
| Al lado de Willie Seton
|
| His comrades they deserted him
| Sus camaradas lo abandonaron
|
| And left him there alone
| Y lo dejó allí solo
|
| And holding tightly to his side
| Y agarrando fuerte a su lado
|
| He started out for home
| Empezó a ir a casa
|
| He had not traveled many a mile
| No había viajado muchas millas
|
| Until the storm came on
| Hasta que llegó la tormenta
|
| And Willie Seton found a log
| Y Willie Seton encontró un registro
|
| To set himself upon
| Ponerse encima
|
| He leaned his back against a tree
| Apoyó la espalda contra un árbol.
|
| And held onto his side
| Y se aferró a su lado
|
| And in that cold and snowy wood
| Y en ese bosque frío y nevado
|
| Young Willie Seton died
| Murió el joven Willie Seton
|
| He was sixteen when he loved
| Tenía dieciséis años cuando amó
|
| Sixteen when he cried
| Dieciséis cuando lloró
|
| Sixteen when he robbed a train
| Dieciséis cuando robó un tren
|
| And sixteen when he died | Y dieciséis cuando murió |
