Enter the Haggis - The Ghosts of Calico [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[verse 1]
On my twenty-first day
I came to Calico
They told me there was silver
Buried in her stone

Summer died in April
Before the flowers came
She will hold me here
Until I struck my dying day

[verse 2]
So I just keep on swinging
I hold my hat brim low
I dig a little deeper
And like a seed I'm sown

She can break my spirit
My back and arms and legs
Though I may not stand
I'm not bowing to her cane

[Chorus]
They will tell you that your fortune lies this way
But soon you'll see those lies unfold
You spend your lifetime trying to dig an endless grave
The ghosts of Calico

[verse 3]
Hey Miss Lucy Bell Lane
Why'd you have to go?
I can hear your sweet song
When the soft wind blows

And I won't forget your spirit
I won't forget your face
I'll be waiting for you
If you come back some day

[Chorus]

[verse 4]
So I take my last breath quickly
I take it in my sleep
I take it while I'm dreaming
Of a life in San Martin

Because everyone I know now
Is a dusty memory
I can hear the wolves
Delivering my eulogy

[Chorus]

Well I can tell you that your fortune lies this way
If you seek loneliness, then go
Because you spend your lifetime trying to dig an endless grave
The ghosts of Calico

Oh, Calico
