My baby's gone and I don't know why 我的宝宝走了，我不知道为什么

She let out this morning 她让今天早上

Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky 就像一个生锈的拍在一个中空的天空

Left me without warning 离开了我没有警告

Sooner than the dogs could bark 早于狗会吠

And faster than the sun rose 比太阳快升

Down to the banks in an old mule car 下到银行的老骡子车

She took a flatboat across the shallow 她花了平底船穿过浅

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Left me in my tears to drown 让我在我的眼泪淹死

She left a baby daughter 她留下了一个宝贝女儿

Now the water's wide and deep and brown 现在，水的宽和深褐色

She's crossing muddy waters 她穿越泥泞的水域

   

Tobacco standing in the fields 烟草站在场

Be rotten come November 烂11月来

And a bitter heart will not reveal 和苦涩心脏不会泄露

A spring that love remembers 弹簧爱情回忆

When that sweet brown girl of mine 当我那甜美的棕色女孩

Her black eyes are ravens 她的黑眼睛是乌鸦

We broke the bread and drank the wine 我们打破了面包，喝的酒

From a jug that she'd been saving 从壶，她会一直留着

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Baby's crying and the daylight's gone 婴儿的哭声和日光不见了

That big oak tree is groaning 那一棵大橡树的呻吟

In rush of wind and river of song 在风急，曲河

I can hear my sweetheart moaning 我能听到我的心上人呻吟

Crying for her baby child 哭了她的宝贝儿

Or crying for her husband 或哭丈夫

Crying for that river's wild 哭了河流的野性

To take her from her loved ones 把她从她的亲人

   

[Chorus 2x] [合唱2倍]
