I Been to Georgia On a Fast Train - Billy Joe Shaver
Written by:Billy Joe Shaver
On a rainy windy morning
在一个下雨的周三早晨
That's the day that I was born on
这是我出生的那一天
In the old sharecroppers one room country shack
我出生在老佃农的一间乡村小屋里
They say my mammy left me
他们说我的妈妈在我
The day before she had me
出生的那一天离开了
Said she hit the road and never once looked back
她决然离开 从未回头看一眼
And I just thought I'd mention my grandma's old age pension
我只是想说奶奶的养老金
Is the reason why I'm standing here today
是我今天还能站在这里的原因
I got all my country learning living and a churning
我让我的村民都学会了挤奶和搅乳
Pickin' cotton rasin' hell and bailin' hay
摘棉花 除草和捆干草
I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
我曾搭快车去过佐治亚州 亲爱的
I wouldn't born no yesterday
我并不是幼稚不懂事
Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
我是个虔诚的基督教徒 受过八年的教育
Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
而这不是你用这种方式对待我的理由
And now sweet caroline I don't guess I'll ever find
现在可爱的卡洛琳 我想我不会找到
Another woman put together like you all
另一个像你一样的女人
I love your wiggle and your walking and your big city talking
我爱你的扭动 你的步伐 你的城市腔
And your brand new shiny plymouth rag top car
和你崭新闪亮的普利茅斯汽车
Yeah it's hurry up and wait
所以快点 等待着
In this world of give and take
这个世界的付出与收获
Seems like haste makes for waste every time
似乎总是很匆忙 每次都是浪费时间
And it play to my soul when you hear those ages roll
当你听到岁月流逝的声音 我对着自己的灵魂祈祷
You better know I'm gonna get my share of mine
你最好明白我会收到自己应得的东西
I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey

Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
