Composed by:Carole King/Gerry Goffin
Now smackwater Jack he bought a shotgun
斯麦克沃特·杰克买了把猎枪
'Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
因他正渴望一场对峙较量
He just let it all hang loose
他任由怒火肆意倾泻
He didn't think about the noose
绞索威胁也全然不屑
He couldn't take no more abuse
再难忍受屈辱肆虐
So he shot down the congregation
便向教堂信众开火扫射
You can't talk to a man
你无法与持枪狂徒
With a shotgun in his hand
进行理性沟通
Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
治安官大吉姆坚守法律与秩序
Yes I did now
没错 我就是这样
He called for the guard to come and surround the border
他召集卫队前来封锁边界
Now from his bulldog mouth
当他带领队伍南下时
As he led the posse south
那张斗牛犬般的嘴里
Came the cry we got to ride to clean up the streets
喊出我们必须清扫街道的号令
For our wives and our daughters
为了我们的妻女
Oh no no
You can't talk to a man
你无法与持枪狂徒
When he don't wanna understand
你无法与他沟通
The account of the capture wasn't in the papers
报纸上并未刊登抓捕的经过
Oh no
噢 没有
But you know they hanged ole smack right then
但你知道他们当场就绞死了老斯麦克
Instead of later
没有拖延
You know the people were quite pleased
人们都感到十分满意
'Cause the outlaw had been seized
因为那个亡命之徒终于落网
And on the whole it was a very good year
总的来说那是个丰收年
For the undertaker
对殡葬师而言
You know you know you can't talk to a man
你要明白 你没法跟一个
With a shotgun in his hand
进行理性沟通
Shotgun in his hand
枪口之下 言语无力
Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
斯麦克沃特·杰克买了把霰弹枪
Oh smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
噢 斯麦克沃特·杰克买了把霰弹枪
Oh smackwater Jack yeah
是啊 斯麦克沃特·杰克
