NEARER MY JOB TO THEE | NÄRMARE JOBB TILL DIG |
| |
Nearer my job to thee, | Närmare jobb till dig, |
Nearer with glee, | fröjd evinnerlig. |
Three plunks for the office fee, | Arbetsförmedlaren |
But my fare is free. | tog min sista spänn. |
My train is running fast, | Men på ett gratiståg |
I've got a job at last, | for jag med glättig håg, |
Nearer my job to thee | närmare jobb till dig, |
Nearer to thee. | närmare dig. |
| |
Arrived where my job should be, | Når jag till sist kom fram |
Nothing in sight I see, | fanns där bara damm. |
Nothing but sand, by gee, | Där var ett ödeland, |
Job went up a tree. | inget jobb, blott sand. |
No place to eat or sleep, | Inte ett hus en gång, |
Snakes in the sage brush creep. | ormar och vindens sång. |
Nero a saint would be, | Nero var hederlig, |
Shark, compared to thee. | skurk, jämförd med dig. |
| |
Nearer to town! each day | Närmare stan var dag |
(Hiked all the way), | liftade jag. |
Nearer that agency, | Närmare förmedlingen |
Where I paid my fee. | där jag har en vän. |
And when that shark I see | När jag får se den man |
You'll bet your boots that he | som snöt mig åker han |
Nearer his god shall be, | närmare, Gud, till dig, |
Leave that to me. | lita du på mig. |
