It was a deadly yellow fever epidemic
At first only a few where sick and then it
Started raging bad,
It was the wort this town has had
It was the summer of 1853
Only my dear old dad and me
Escaped alive
Escaped unscathed
Summer of 1853
the river reeked of mortality
Summer of 1853
the river reeked of mortality
It was a deadly yellow fever epidemic
Era uma epidemia mortal de febre amarela
A princípio, poucos adoeceram e então
Começaram a ficar raivosos
Foi a pior cosia que esta cidade já teve
Era o verão de 1853
Somente meu querido velho pai e eu
Escapamos vivos
Escapamos ilesos
Verão de 1853
O rio exalava à mortalidade
Verão de 1853
O rio exalava à mortalidade
Era uma epidemia mortal de febre amarela
