歌词
Oxford town, oxford town
牛津镇啊 牛津镇
Ev'rybody's got their heads bowed down
每个人都将头低低垂下
The sun don't shine above the ground
太阳照不到地面上
Ain't a-goin' down to oxford town
千万别去牛津镇啊
他决意要去牛津镇
He went down to oxford town
身后枪支棍棒紧随不放
Guns and clubs followed him down
全都因为他的脸是棕黑的
All because his face was brown
最好赶紧离开牛津镇吧
Better get away from oxford town
牛津镇就在那拐角处
他走近敲响那道门 但无人回应
Oxford town around the bend
全都因为他皮肤的颜色
He come in to the door, he couldn't get in
你如何看待此事呢 我的朋友
All because of the color of his skin
我和我的姑娘 还有我姑娘的孩子
What do you think about that, my frien'?
我们在催泪弹散开之下相遇
我甚至不知道我们为何而来
Me and my gal, my gal's son
回到我们的家乡去吧
We got met with a tear gas bomb
午后的牛津镇啊
I don't even know why we come
每个人都操着悲伤的调子唱歌
Goin' back where we come from
两人死在密西西比河的月色下
最好快点派人来进行一番调查
Oxford town in the afternoon
Ev'rybody singin' a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon
