Текст Kasey Chambers – Jonestown

No more I’ll be troubled, no more I’ll be damned
A poor man is able, a poor man I am
And oh how I’ve waited so long to be found
So come lay your head in Jonestown

Come down from the river like blood from a stone
They fed me my dinner and welcomed me home
And lo and behold when the walls came down
He held out his hand in Jonestown
I found me a friend in Jonestown

Don’t you leave, the baby’s a sleeping
Don’t you see all that I am, it’s all I’m believing
Nobody’s leaving

I came from a town made of ashes and dirt
We walked on the streets where the crosses were burned
I left on the morning the church came down
But they treated me kind in Jonestown
They’re all color blind in Jonestown

Sweeter than sugar and finer than gold
She sits with her mother and does what she’s told
She closes her eyes with her hair hanging down
I love you my dear in Jonestown
They all love her here in Jonestown

Don’t you leave, the baby’s a sleeping
Don’t you see all that I am, it’s all I’m believing
Nobody’s leaving

I lay here beside you, no tears will I cry
A poor man is able, a poor man am I
The crows they are waiting, the sun’s going down
We drink to our brothers in Jonestown
