High Sheriff Of Calhoun Parish Lyrics – Tony Joe White

Singer: Tony Joe White
Title: High Sheriff Of Calhoun Parish

It was said of the sheriff to Calhoun Parish
Not to ever touch his daughter Emily
For to look at her with lustful eyes was certain
To get you a time in the penitentiary

It was true, she was quite voluptuous
And it was true, she had eyes for me
Then one night at a dance she walked up to me
And ask me would I meet her down by the creek

As I listened to her dangerous proposal
I thought about the high sheriff catching me
As I shook my head and quietly left the party
I heard her laugh and say, “You’ll be sorry”

Then there came upon my door a loud disturbance
I opened it to the sheriff and his deputy
He said, “Son, did you molest my daughter?”
I said, “Sheriff, I do not know of what you speak”

Then he grabbed me roughly by the collar
And he flung me sprawling out into the street
There were days in the jail with claustrophobia
And all on account of that wench Emily

Well, I finally worked a bar loose from the window
And made my way into the woods of Calhoun
Late that night I came upon a cabin
It was the home of Harham Cross, a friend I knew

Would you all mind if I sat down at your table
‘Cause it’s been a while since I’ve had time to eat
And I’ll pay y’all back when I’m able
But right now the high sheriff is after me

You see
Ooh

High Sheriff Of Calhoun Parish – Terjemahan / Translation

Dikatakan tentang sheriff ke paroki Calhoun
Tidak pernah menyentuh putrinya Emily
Untuk melihatnya dengan mata bernafsu yakin
Untuk memberi Anda waktu di penjara

Itu benar, dia cukup menggairahkan
Dan itu benar, dia memiliki mata untukku
Lalu suatu malam di tarian dia berjalan ke arahku
Dan bertanya kepada saya apakah saya akan bertemu dengannya di tepi sungai

Ketika saya mendengarkan proposal berbahayanya
Saya memikirkan sheriff tinggi menangkap saya
Ketika aku menggelengkan kepalaku dan diam-diam meninggalkan pesta
Saya mendengarnya tertawa dan berkata, “Anda akan menyesal”

Lalu ada di depan pintu saya gangguan yang keras
Saya membukanya ke sheriff dan wakilnya
Dia berkata, “Nak, apakah kamu menganiaya putriku?”
Saya berkata, “Sheriff, saya tidak tahu apa yang Anda gunakan”

Kemudian dia meraihku kira-kira oleh kerah
Dan dia melemparkanku terbelah ke jalan
Ada hari-hari di penjara dengan claustrophobia
Dan semua karena wench emily itu

Yah, saya akhirnya bekerja bar longgar dari jendela
Dan membuat jalan ke hutan Calhoun
Larut malam itu aku datang ke sebuah pondok
Itu adalah rumah Harham Cross, seorang teman yang kukenal

Apakah Anda semua keberatan jika saya duduk di meja Anda
Karena sudah lama sejak aku punya waktu untuk makan
Dan aku akan membayar kalian kembali ketika aku bisa
Tetapi saat ini sheriff tinggi mengejar saya

Kamu melihat
Ooh.
