Box, No. 10

Well, out of Southern Illinois.
南方伊利诺伊州的乡下
Come a down home country boy.
走出了个浪子
He's gonna make it in the city
心里想着在城里
Playin' guitar in the studio.
成为一个像样的歌手
Well he hadn't been there an hour,
只是这才刚上路
When he met a Broadway flower,
就迷上了一朵路边野花
You know she took him for his money
结果光着屁股[00:31.40]一个人被她扔在了旅馆的床上
And she left him in a cheap hotel.
嘿 说起来还真不好意思
Oh, well, it's easy for you to see
我就是那个被骗个精光的家伙
That that country boy is me
心想着：若家里人问起
Saying "And how am I gonna ever
该怎么告诉他们回家的原因才好
break the news to the folks back home?"
咳 本该咸鱼翻身的
Well, I was gonna be a great success,
结果落个这样的收场
Things sure ended up a mess,
好吧 其实过程也是一团糟
But in the process I got messed up too.
嘿 老妈老爹 我实在是没钱付电话费咯
"Hello Mamma and Dad I had to call collect“
不止是电话费 我已经身无分文了
'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name.
前几天我都睡在旅馆门前
Well I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway,
可大家都说今晚可能会下雨了
And tonight they say it's gonna rain.
放心 只消给我那么一点钱
And if you'd only send me some money
我便能打起精神 重新出发
I'll be back on my feet again,
请把钱寄到‘周日’代收点
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission
"10号箱子”
Box number ten.10
南方伊利诺伊州的乡下
Well, back in Southern Illinois
老两口还是放心不下出走的浪子
They're still worryin' 'bout their boy.
尽管寄上一笔钱时他便答应要买票回家
But this boy's goin' home soon's he get's the fare.
浪子：保佑我能熬过今晚
Because as soon as I got my bread
明早我一定回老家去——这次可是认真的了
I got a pipe upside my head.
那些坏家伙把我丢在这鸟不拉屎的地方
You know they left me in an alley,
这次连吉它都没留给我
Took my money and my guitar, too.
