Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose
农场男孩的鼻子里满是图莱尔尘土
Wondering where the freight train goes
他好奇货运列车驶向何方
Standin' in the field by the railroad track
站在铁路旁的田野里
Cursin' this strap on my cotton sack
咒骂着挂在棉袋上的皮带
I can see mom and dad with shoulders low
我看见父母低垂着肩膀
Both of 'em pickin' on a double row
两人并排采摘着棉花
They do it for a livin' because they must
他们以此为生,因为别无选择
That's life like it is in the Tulare dust
这就是图莱尔尘土中的生活
First thing I remember knowing
我最早记得的事情
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
是孤独的汽笛声
And a young un's dream of growing up to ride
和一个孩子梦想长大去远行
On a freight train leaving town
搭上一列离开小镇的货运火车
Not knowing where I'm bound
不知道去向何方
And no one could change my mind but mama tried
没人能改变我的想法,除了妈妈的努力
One and only rebel child from a family
我是家中唯一叛逆的孩子
Meek and mild
而家人却温和谦逊
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
妈妈似乎早已预见我的未来
Despite all my Sunday learning
尽管我每周日都在学习
Towards the bad I kept on turning
我却一直走向堕落
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
直到妈妈再也无法拉住我
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life
我在监狱中度过了二十一岁
Without parole
没有假释的机会
No one could steer me right but mama tried
没人能引导我走向正途,但妈妈努力过
Mama tried

Mama tried to raise me better

But her pleading I denied

The only thing did play but mama tried

Dear old daddy rest his soul
亲爱的父亲,愿他安息
Left my mom a heavy load
给妈妈留下了沉重的负担
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

Working hours without rest
日夜操劳,未曾停歇
Wanted me to have the best

She tried to raise me right but I refused

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life
