Leavin' the towns I love the best

Thought I'd seen some ups and down

Til I come into new york town

People goin' down to the ground
人们纷纷倒地不起
Buildings goin' up to the sky
高楼大厦拔地而起
Wintertime in new york town
冬天的纽约城
The wind blowin' snow around
呼啸的风吹着雪花四处飘散
Walk around with nowhere to go
四处游走无处可去
Somebody could freeze right to the bone

I froze right to the bone

New york times said it was

The coldest winter in seventeen years

I didn't feel so cold then
那时我并不觉得心寒
I swung on to my old guitar

Grabbed hold of a subway car
紧紧抓牢一节地铁车厢
And after a rocking reeling rolling ride
在一段令人晕头转向的旅程之后
I landed up on the downtown side

I walked down there and ended up

In one of them coffee-houses on the block
在街区的一家咖啡馆里
Got on the stage to sing and play

Man there said come back some other day

You sound like a hill billy

We want folk singer here

Well I got a harmonica job begun to play
我开始吹口琴了
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day
为了一天一美元把我的肺都掏出来
I blowed inside out and upside down
我心潮澎湃天翻地覆
The man there said he loved m' sound
那里的男人说他喜欢我的声音
He was ravin' about how he loved m' sound

Dollar a day's worth

And after weeks and weeks
一周又一周过去了
Of hangin' around

I finally got a job in new york town

In a bigger place bigger money too

Even joined the union and paid m' dues

That some people rob you

With a fountain pen

Just what he was talkin' about

A lot of people don't have

Much food on their table

But they got a lot of forks n' knives

And they gotta cut somethin'

So one mornin' when the sun was warm

Pulled my cap down over my eyes

And headed out for the western skies
