Written by:Harlan Howard
He was born and raised
他生于斯长于斯
Around Jacksonville
在杰克逊维尔
A nice young man
曾是个善良青年
Not the kind to kill
绝非嗜血之徒
But a jealous fight and
却因妒火争斗
A flashing blade
刀光一闪而过
Sent him on the run to the everglades
迫使他逃向大沼泽
Runnin' like a dog through the everglades
如野犬般在大沼泽中奔逃
Now the posse went in and
追捕队深入沼泽搜寻
They came back out
最终空手而归
They said he'll die
他们断言他必死无疑
And there ain't no doubt
对此深信不疑
It's an eye for an eye
以眼还眼的古老法则
So the debt is paid
血债已然偿还
He won't last long
在这片大沼泽地里
In the everglades
他撑不过多久时光
A man can't live in the everglades
无人能在沼泽地生存
Where a man can hide and never be found
那里虽可藏身 却永难寻踪
And have no fear of the bayin' hounds
不必惧怕猎犬的吠叫
But he better keep movin'
但必须不断前行
And don't stand still if
若停下脚步
The 'skeeters don't get
蚊虫若未得手
Then the 'gaters will
鳄鱼便会来袭
Now the years went by
岁月悄然流逝
And his girl was wed
他的姑娘已嫁作人妇
His fam'ly gave him up for dead
家人当他早已离世
But now and then the natives would say
但偶尔会有当地人说
They'd seen him runnin'
看见他狂奔的身影
Through the everglades
穿过茫茫沼泽地
Running like a dog through the everglades
像野狗般在沼泽中逃窜
Now he never heard the news
他从未听闻广播里
On the radio
传来的消息
He was deep in the 'glades
他深陷沼泽深处
So he'll never know
所以他永远不会知晓
His runnin' and hidin'
他的逃亡与躲藏
Didn't make much sense for
其实毫无意义
The jury had ruled it was self defense
陪审团已裁定那是正当防卫
Running like a dog through the everglades
像野狗般在沼泽中逃窜
Where a man can hide and never be found
那里虽可藏身 却永难寻踪
And have no fear of the bayin' hounds
不必惧怕猎犬的吠叫
But he better keep movin'
但必须不断前行
And don't stand still
不要停下脚步
If the 'skeeters don't get
若蚊虫没能将他吞噬
Then the 'gaters will
鳄鱼便会来袭
Runnin' like a dog
如野犬般狂奔
Through the everglades
穿过茫茫沼泽地
Skippin' like a frog
似青蛙般跳跃
Through the slimy bog
蹚过黏腻泥潭
Running through the tress
在丛林中狂奔
From the everglades
逃离大沼泽地
