以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
John Hardy was a desperate little man
约翰·哈迪是个亡命之徒
He carried two guns every day
他每日双枪傍身
He shot a man on the West Virginia line
在西弗吉尼亚边境夺人性命
And you ought to see John Hardy getting away
且看约翰·哈迪仓皇逃窜
John Hardy got to the east stone bridge
他逃至东石桥头
He thought that he would be free
满以为能重获自由
And up stepped a man and took him by the arm
却被一名汉子擒住臂膀
Saying Johnny walk along with me
道"强尼 随我走一趟"
He sent for his poppy and his mommy too
他唤来父亲与母亲
To come and go his bail
盼能保他出牢笼
But money won't go on a murdering case
但金钱难赎杀人罪
And they locked John Hardy back in jail
约翰·哈迪重陷囹圄中
John Hardy had a pretty little girl
约翰有个娇俏小女儿
The dress that she wore was blue
身着一袭蓝裙裳
As she came skipping through the old jail hall
蹦跳穿过古老监狱廊
Saying Poppy I been true to you
轻唤爹爹表衷肠
John Hardy had another little girl
约翰·哈迪还有个小女儿
The dress that she wore was red
她穿着鲜红的衣裙
She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground
跟随父亲来到绞刑场
Saying Poppy I would rather be dead
哭喊"爸爸 我宁愿替你**"
I've been to the east and I've been to the west
我曾漂泊东方西方
I've been this wide world around
踏遍这广阔人间
I've been to the river and I've been baptized
在河边受洗皈依
And I'm on my hanging ground
如今却要命丧刑场
John Hardy walked out on his scaffold high
约翰·哈迪走向高高的绞刑架
With his loving little wife by his side
他心爱的小妻子陪在身旁
And the last words she heard poor John-O say
她听到可怜的约翰最后说道
I'll meet you in that sweet bye and bye
我们会在那美好的彼岸重逢
