Текст песни July 12, 1939

July the 12th sure was a scorcher

Mama, she fixed some lemonade

Sister Beth was sunning in the sunshine

And baby Corey was playing in the shade

I looked up the road

And yonder comes a big car

Something we don't see much around here

Big man said, son, where's your pappy

Said, he's over in the cornfield

Not far from here

They started talking over by the rail fence

It looked like Papa was getting mad

They walked to the house and papa was crying

Papa never cried and I knew it was bad

Two weeks later in the Logan courthouse

Raining cats and dogs outsideCharlie Rich - July 12, 1939 - http://ru.motolyrics.com/charlie-rich/july-12-1939-lyrics.html

Sure was awful the way mama was crying

She says she thought that woman had lied

Papa said, Judge

We tried to raise up a good boy

From a little bitty tot

Jody'd never go against

Of what a woman wishes

That kinda boy we know that he's not

You know the power of the almighty dollar

Will come out the winner every time

That Willie Buchanan done got away with something

They're trying to blame on the boy of mine

Hmmm mmm mmm...

July the 12th, 1939
