Folsom Prison Blues

I hear the train a comin
我聽到火車開過來
Its rollin round the bend,
就那樣滾過了一個彎
And I aint seen the sunshine,
不記得什麼時候起
Since, I dont know when,
就再沒見過陽光
Im stuck in Folsom Prison,
我被關在福爾松監獄

這裡的時間真煎熬
And time keeps draggin on,
但是那火車
But that train keeps a-rollin,
一直奔著聖安東尼奧而去
On down to San Antone.
當我是個孩子的時候

媽媽就告訴我，兒子啊
When I was just a baby,
要做個乖寶寶
My Mama told me, 'Son,
千萬不要亂耍槍
Always be a good boy,
但我在里諾開槍打人
Dont ever play with guns,'
看著他死掉
But I shot a man in Reno,
當我聽見警笛鳴叫的時候
Just to watch him die,
捂著頭不爭氣地哭了
When I hear that whistle blowin,
我打賭有錢的鄉親們
I hang my head and cry.
在有趣的餐車裡吃飯

他們很有可能喝著咖啡
I bet theres rich folks eatin,
抽著大大的雪茄
In a fancy dining car,
好吧我知道面對的什麼
Theyre probably drinkin coffee,
我知道沒有自由啦
And smokin big cigars,
但是那些人還大吃大喝
But I know I had it comin,
這是最折磨我的事情啦
I know I cant be free,
要是他們把我從監獄裡放出來

如果那條鐵路和火車是我的
But those people keep a-movin,
我打賭我要開得

比終點站遠一點
And thats what tortures me.
在離福爾松監獄很遠

我要停留的地方
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
拉響孤獨的汽笛
If that railroad train was mine,
吹散我的憂傷
I bet Id move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
Thats where I want to stay,

And Id let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues away.
