Вступление
[RECITATION]
In 1862, a U.S. Army corporal returning to California found a saddle in the High Sierra Mountains,
high above the settlement of New Helvetia.
As it was a cavalry saddle and therefore the property of the U.S. Government,
he returned to fort with it.
The private charged with refurbishing the saddle found a note etched on its underside.
Carved by the point of a knife into the wood and leather were these words,
and a single name: Margolaigne.
[VERSE 1]
D D/F# G D
Oh my dear Margolaigne, while the primroses bloom
D Bm G A
I am riding my pony at last home to you
D D/F# G D
Though the road it was long and the ride it was rough
D Bm A D
Margolaigne, I’ve returned to the arms of your love
[VERSE 2]
D D/F# G D
It’s been ten now and seven since pale was your skin
D Bm G A
Kissed I cold cheeks the fever burned no longer in
D D/F# G D
Like your body my arms ‘round your memory hold
D Bm A D
Margolaigne, as I promised, I never let go
[CHORUS 1]
G D
Margolaigne, there were roses in the summertime
G Bm A
Margolaigne, in the spring I brought your columbine
D D/F# G D
Though the road it was long and the ride it was rough
D Bm A D
Margolaigne, I’ve returned to the arms of your love
[VERSE 3]
D D/F# G D
I remember the sweet smell of linden perfume
D Bm G A
Through the sage would it rise though were I weeks from you
D D/F# G D
I have taken the lives now of many young men
D Bm A D
Margolaigne, I am dying to see you again
[CHORUS 2]
G D
Margolaigne, braids of sweetgrass in the summertime
G Bm A
Margolaigne, in the spring I brought your columbine
D D/F# G D
Though the road it was long and the ride it was rough
D Bm A D
Margolaigne, I’ve returned to the arms of your love
[VERSE 4]
D D/F# G D
In this pass we have frozen, my pony and I
D Bm G A
Fallen have we at last in this cold hell to die
D D/F# G D
Should my body be found grant my only request
D Bm A D
Carve these words into stone where my memory rests
[CHORUS 3]
D D/F# G D
Oh my dear Margolaigne, while the primroses bloom
D Bm G A
I am riding my pony at last home to you
D D/F# G D
Though the road it was long and the ride it was rough
D Bm A D
Margolaigne, I’ve returned to the arms of your love
[TAGS]
D D/F# G D
All the dust I have gathered at last calls my name
D Bm G A
I am riding my pony to you, Margolaigne
D D/F# G D
Though the road it was long and the ride it was rough
D Bm A D
Margolaigne, I’ve returned to the arms of your love
