フォスター(Stephen Collins Foster)作詞・作曲「老犬トレイ(Old Dog Tray)」
歌詞: 1) The morn of life is past, And evening comes at last, It brings me a dream of a once happy day, Of merry forms I've seen. Upon the village green, Sporting with my old dog Tray.
Old dog Tray's ever faithful, Grief can not drive him away, He's gentle,he is kind, I'll never,never, find A better friend than old dog Tray. 2) The forms I've called my own, Have vanish'd one by one, The lov'd ones,the dear ones, have all pass'd away, Their happy smiles have flown, Their gentle voices gone; I've nothing left but old dog Tray.
Old dog Tray's ever faithful, Grief can not drive him away, He's gentle,he is kind, I'll never,never, find A better friend than old dog Tray. 3) When thoughts recall the past, His eyes are on me cast, I know that he feels what my breaking heart would say; Although he can not speak I'll vainly,vainly seek, A better friend than old dog Tray.
Old dog Tray's ever faithful, Grief can not drive him away, He's gentle,he is kind, I'll never,never, find A better friend than old dog Tray.
歌詞: 1) De Camptown ladies sing dis song, Doo-dah! doo-dah! De Camptown racetrack five miles long, Oh! doo-dah-day! I come down dah wid my hat caved in, Doo-dah! doo-dah! I go back home wid a pocket full of tin, Oh! doo-dah-day!
Gwine to run all night! Gwine to run all day! I'll bet my money on de bobtail nag, Somebody bet on de bay. 2) De long tail filly and de big black boss, Doo-dah! doo-dah!
