When we were young along the Mississippi life was never lonely way back then 当我们沿着密西西比河年轻的生命永远是孤独的归途再

We'd need each other down along the dirt road 我们就需要对方顺着土路

And go for walk so along the river bend 去散步等等沿河弯

I bought some ground along the Mississippi and told you of my plans that lay ahead 我买了密西西比河部分失地，告诉你我的计划，摆在面前

But you were dreaming all about big city and far off places in the books you read 但你是在做梦所有关于大城市和遥远的，你读的书的地方

Now when leaves fall down along the Mississippi I look back north into the chilly wind 现在，当树叶掉下来沿着密西西比河我回头向北进入阴风

I wait and watch for you along the dirt road and wonder if you're coming back again 我等着，看你沿着土路，不知道，如果你又回来了

   

I built a house along the Mississippi and longing for the day when we would wed 我建沿密西西比河房子，渴望有一天我们会结婚

I waited for you down along the dirt road but far off places won your heart instead 我等了你顺着土路，但遥远的地方赢得了你的心脏，而不是

Now when leaves fall down ... 现在，当树叶掉下来...

And wonder if you're coming back again 心想你又回来了
