Written by：Bob Dylan

Sometimes I feel so low down and disgusted

我感到失落又疲惫

Can't help but wonder what's happening to my companions

忍不住想 我的伙伴发生了什么

Are they lost or are they found

他们是迷失了 还是成长了

Have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down

他们是否计算过打败别人的代价

All their earthly principles they're going to have to abandon

为了战争 他们需要放弃那些世俗的道义

There's a slow slow train coming up around the bend

一辆火车缓缓驶向了弯道

I had a woman down in Alabama

She was a backwoods girl but she sure was realistic

She said boy without a doubt

Have to quit your mess and straighten out

你要离开这烂摊子 解决这些麻烦

You could die down here be just another accident statistic

一辆火车缓缓驶向了弯道

All that foreign oil controlling American soil

Look around you it's just bound to make you embarrassed

Sheiks walking around like kings

Wearing fancy jewels and nose rings

Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris

Man's ego is inflated his laws are outdated they don't apply no more

You can't rely no more to be standing around waiting

All nonbelievers and men stealers talking in the name of religion

People starving and thirsting grain elevators are bursting
