He Walked on Water
Allen Shamblin
He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck
And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck
I thought that he walked on water
Said he was a cowboy when he was young
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son
And I thought that he walked on water
And if the story was told, only heaven knows
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
And though his wings, they were never seen
I thought that he walked on water
Well, he tied a cord to the end of a mop
And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot"
And I'd ride in circles while he laughed a lot
Then I'd flop down beside him
And he was ninety years old in '63
And I loved him and he loved me
And Lord, I cried the day he died
'Cause I thought that he walked on water
But if the story was told, only heaven knows
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
And though his wings, they were never seen
I thought that he walked on water
Yeah, I thought that he walked on water
He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck
Er trug gestärkte weiße Hemden, die am Hals zugeknöpft waren
And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck
Und er saß im Schatten und sah den Hühnern beim Picken zu
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck
Und seine Zähne waren weg, aber was soll's
I thought that he walked on water
Ich dachte, dass er auf Wasser ging
Said he was a cowboy when he was young

Er konnte mit einem Seil umgehen und er war gut mit einem Gewehr
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son
Und der Vater meiner Mama war sein ältester Sohn
And I thought that he walked on water
Und ich dachte, dass er auf Wasser ging
And if the story was told, only heaven knows
Und ob die Geschichte erzählt wurde, weiß nur der Himmel
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
Aber sein Hut kam mir vor wie ein alter Heiligenschein
And though his wings, they were never seen
Und seine Flügel, sie wurden nie gesehen
I thought that he walked on water
Ich dachte, dass er auf Wasser ging
Well, he tied a cord to the end of a mop
Nun, er band eine Schnur an das Ende eines Mopps
And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot"
Und sagte: „Sohn, hier ist ein Pony, halte es im Trab“

Und ich ritt im Kreis, während er viel lachte
Then I'd flop down beside him
Dann ließ ich mich neben ihm nieder
And he was ninety years old in '63
Und er war neunzig Jahre alt im Jahr '63
And I loved him and he loved me
Und ich liebte ihn und er liebte mich
And Lord, I cried the day he died
Und Herr, ich weinte an dem Tag als er starb
'Cause I thought that he walked on water
Weil ich dachte, dass er auf Wasser ging
But if the story was told, only heaven knows
Aber ob die Geschichte erzählt wurde, weiß nur der Himmel
