歌词
I was just a kid roamin' around
我是个四处漂泊之人
Travelin' through a little ol' town
从一个小镇到另一个小镇
A man walked up and said come with me
一个男人走过来说 和我走吧
You're broke and son that's vagrancy
你没有一分钱，孩子，这就是流浪
A carefree lad that love to roam
一个热爱自由四处漂泊的小伙
But Lord I wish I'd stayed at home
但是，我主啊，我希望我还是在家里
The way it looks I'll probably hang
在这种情景下我指不定哪天会上吊
'Cause there ain't no hope on a chain gang
这条链子里看不到一点希望
I dig that ditch I chop that corn
我挖壕沟，我切玉米
I curse the day that I was born
我诅咒我出生的那天
I believe it's better for a man to hang
我觉得一个人要是锁在链子里像条狗一样工作
Than to work like a dog on a chain gang
他还不如死了得好
The guard stands there with a great big gun
看守站在那里挥舞着一把大枪
I bet he'd love to see me run
我赌他等不及看我逃工
And I guess I probably will some day
而我说不好哪天真的会这么干
I'd rather be dead than to live this way
我宁愿死也不要这样生活
He's well fed and he's six foot tall
他生养得好，身高足有六英尺
And he's a meanest of them all
不仅如此他还是这群人中最狠的家伙
He cracks that whip and he swings that cane
他抽打那条鞭子，那挥舞手里的罐头
That sun must've touched his brain
连阳光也照进他的脑子里
I dig that ditch I chop that corn
我挖壕沟，我切玉米
I curse the day that I was born
我诅咒我出生的那天
I believe it's better for a man to hang
我觉得一个人要是锁在链子里像条狗一样工作
Than to work like a dog on a chain gang
他还不如死了得好
I got a gal back home that's sweet and kind
我得回到我甜蜜美好的家
But she's been waitin' a long long time
但我却已经让她已经等了很久很久
I just told her to forget my name
我就这样告诉她，忘掉我的名字
I won't ever live down the shame
我永远不会活在羞耻之中
Lord deliver me from this hole
主啊，在我灵魂腐朽，思想溃烂之前
Before I lose my mind and soul
救我出这个无底洞吧
The flesh gets weak and the back gets broke
这幅身体越来越虚弱，腰背也落下顽疾
There ain't no 'cause to laugh and joke
这一点也不好笑，更不值得讥讽
I dig that ditch I chop that corn
我挖壕沟，我切玉米
I curse the day that I was born
我诅咒我出生的那天
I believe it's better for a man to hang
我觉得一个人要是锁在链子里像条狗一样工作
Than to work like a dog on a chain gang
他还不如死了得好
Work like a dog on a chain gang
像锁在链子里的狗一样工作
Work like a dog on a chain gang
像锁在链子里的狗一样工作
Work like a dog on a chain gang
像锁在链子里的狗一样工作
