Poor Howard

Poor Howard's dead and gone, left me here to sing his songPobre Howard está muerto y se fue, me dejó aquí para cantar su canción

Poor Howard's dead and gone, left me here to sing his songPobre Howard está muerto y se fue, me dejó aquí para cantar su canción

Poor Howard had a wife and she nagged him all his lifePobre Howard tenía una esposa y ella lo fastidiaba toda su vida

So he used his butcher knife---like I said he had a wifeAsí que usó su cuchillo de carnicero---como dije, tenía una esposa

Now poor Howard's dead and gone...Ahora pobre Howard está muerto y se fue...

They took Howard off to jail, wouldn't let me go his bail,Lo llevaron a Howard a la cárcel, no me dejaron pagar su fianza,

They said if he is your friend, buy a lily for his handDijeron que si él es tu amigo, compra un lirio para su mano

Poor Howard's dead and gone...Pobre Howard está muerto y se fue...

When we laid his bones to rest we fulfilled his last requestCuando pusimos sus huesos a descansar cumplimos su último deseo

He said buddies bury me far from her as I can beDijo amigos entiérrenme lejos de ella tanto como puedan

Now poor Howard's dead and gone...Ahora pobre Howard está muerto y se fue...

His last words were 'Friends, goodbye. Don't you worry; don't you cry.Sus últimas palabras fueron 'Amigos, adiós. No se preocupen; no lloren.

I don't mind this a gettin' hung, at least I stopped her naggin' tongue'No me importa ser ahorcado, al menos detuve su lengua de fastidio'

Now poor Howard's dead and gone...Ahora pobre Howard está muerto y se fue...
