歌词
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
一个年轻的牛仔 Billy Joe 无忧无虑地在农场中成长
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
一个男孩他无忧无虑天真善良
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
一天他换上他的新衣，擦亮他的靴子
And combed his dark hair down
梳下他乌黑的长发
And his mother cried as he walked out
出门时他的母亲哀求着他
孩子，不要把你的枪带去镇上
Don't take your guns to town son
Bill，把你的枪留在家里吧
Leave your guns at home Bill
不要把枪带去镇上
Don't take your guns to town
他笑着亲吻她的额头
你的Bill已经是个男子汉了
He laughed and kissed his mom
我的枪法比任何人都快都准
And said your Billy Joe's a man
我不会无缘无故开枪
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
我不会向任何人开枪
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
在他出门前母亲再一次哀求
I'd gun nobody down
孩子，不要把枪带去镇上
But she cried again as he rode away
Bill，把你的枪留在家里
不要把你的枪带去镇上
Don't take your guns to town son
他哼着歌谣，骑着马
Leave your guns at home Bill
他的枪挂在他的腰间
Don't take your guns to town
他骑进一个养牛的小镇
他的嘴角扬起了微笑
He sang a song as on he rode
他停下来走进了一个酒吧
His guns hung at his hips
他把钱放在柜台上
He rode into a cattle town
但是他母亲的话在耳边再次回响
A smile upon his lips
孩子，不要把你枪带去镇上
He stopped and walked into a bar
Bill，把你的枪留在家里
And laid his money down
不要把你的枪带去镇上
But his mother's words echoed again
他第一次喝下一口烈酒，试图平复他颤抖的双手
他努力告诉自己他已经是一个男子汉了
Don't take your guns to town son
一个满身尘土的牛仔在他边上嘲笑他
Leave your guns at home Bill
他母亲的话又一次在耳边响起
Don't take your guns to town
孩子，不要把你枪带去镇上
Bill，把你的枪留在家里
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
不要把你的枪带去镇上
And tried to tell himself he had become a man
他充满了愤怒
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
Billy Joe 抽出了他的枪
And he heard again his mothers words
但是那个陌生人已经开火
在他看见之前
Don't take your guns to town son
当Billy倒在地板上
Leave your guns at home Bill
人群围到了他的身边
Don't take your guns to town
好奇地猜着他最后的话
孩子，不要把你枪带去镇上
Filled with rage then
Bill，把你的枪留在家里
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
不要把你的枪带去镇上
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
-----END-----
Before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
The crowd all gathered 'round
And wondered at his final words
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town
-----END-----
