Every town has its town bum I guess ours had one here's a song about him Every town has its town bum I guess ours had one here's a song about him Cada pueblo tiene su culo creo que nuestro pueblo había una aquí una canción sobre él I remember him fondly well his name was Abner Brown I remember him fondly well his name was Abner Brown Lo recuerdo con cariño, así se llamaba Abner Brown I knew an old drunk named Abner Brown and nobody knew when he came to town I knew an old drunk named Abner Brown and nobody knew when he came to town Conocí a un viejo borracho llamado Abner Brown, y nadie sabía cuando llegó a la ciudad But he spread good will to his fellow men and they let him sleep in the cotton gin But he spread good will to his fellow men and they let him sleep in the cotton gin Sin embargo, extendió la buena voluntad hacia sus semejantes y lo dejaron dormir en la desmotadora de algodón He could drink more brew than an army could He could drink more brew than an army could Podía beber más cerveza que un ejército puede But he had more friends and he did more good But he had more friends and he did more good Pero él tenía más amigos y lo hizo más bien Than a lot of fine fancy people in our town so they tolerated Abner Brown Than a lot of fine fancy people in our town so they tolerated Abner Brown Que un montón de gente fina de fantasía en nuestra ciudad para que tolera Abner Brown And all us kids were on his side cause he told us tales till our eyes grew wide And all us kids were on his side cause he told us tales till our eyes grew wide Y todos nosotros los niños estaban en su causa lado nos dijo cuentos hasta que nuestros ojos se abrieron And he made us feel bout ten feet tall cause he had no kids but he claimed us all And he made us feel bout ten feet tall cause he had no kids but he claimed us all Y él nos hizo sentir combate de diez pies de alto porque él no tenía hijos, pero según él todos nosotros And after school and on weekends you could find me down at the cotton gin And after school and on weekends you could find me down at the cotton gin Y después de la escuela y los fines de semana se puede encontrar me dejó en la desmotadora de algodón The truest friend that I ever found was a good old drunk named Abner Brown The truest friend that I ever found was a good old drunk named Abner Brown El mejor amigo que he encontrado era un borracho viejo y buen nombre Abner Brown Abner Brown I wish that I could see you once again Abner Brown I wish that I could see you once again Abner Brown Ojalá pudiera verte una vez más I believe that you'd stack up with all the mighty men I believe that you'd stack up with all the mighty men Yo creo que a usted le pila con todos los hombres poderosos I've met and known in all the low and higher places that I've been I've met and known in all the low and higher places that I've been He conocido y conocido en todos los lugares bajos y más altos que he estado Thinking of you picks me up when I'm feeling down Thinking of you picks me up when I'm feeling down Pensando en ti me levanta cuando me siento triste I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown Doy gracias al Señor para hacer Abner Brown Lord take me back to the cotton land to Arkansas take me home again Lord take me back to the cotton land to Arkansas take me home again Señor, llévame de vuelta a la tierra de algodón de Arkansas, llévame a casa de nuevo Let me be the boy that I once have been let me walk that road to the cotton gin Let me be the boy that I once have been let me walk that road to the cotton gin Permítanme ser el niño que una vez han sido déjame caminar ese camino a la desmotadora de algodón He's probably dead many years ago and gone the way that old drunks go He's probably dead many years ago and gone the way that old drunks go Probablemente muerto hace muchos años y se ha ido de la manera en que los borrachos de edad van But I'd still like to sit me down talk to my old friend Abner Brown But I'd still like to sit me down talk to my old friend Abner Brown Pero todavía me gustaría sentarme a hablar con mi viejo amigo Abner Brown Abner Brown I wish...
