Let me tell you the tale of Medicine Jack 让我告诉你医学杰克的故事

He went out in the woods and he never came back 他走了出去，在树林里，他再也没有回来

Equipped with a stick and a big old sack 配备了一根棍子和一个大麻袋老

He went too close to the railroad track 他走到太靠近铁轨

   

You know what they say about Medicine Jack 你知道他们说的医学杰克什么

He lived his life in a rolldown shack, 他住他的生命在辊轧窝棚，

The wind a-screeching through the cracks 风中，扯开的裂缝

And the sound of the trains from the railroad track 与火车的声音从铁轨

   

Well here's the truth about Medicine Jack 那么这里是关于医学杰克的真相

He painted his face and his whole shack black 他画了他的脸，他的整个窝棚黑

He went up in the woods and he never came back 他走到了树林，他再也没有回来

He must have got too close to the railroad track 他一定得过于靠近铁轨

   

Did you see him on that fateful night? 你看到他在那个灾难性的夜晚？

Did you see his grizzly face in the torchlight? 你有没有看到他的脸灰熊在火炬？

Did you see him crawling down among the trees 你有没有看到他爬下来的树林中

And getting scabs on his hands and knees? 并获得了他的手和膝盖结痂？

Did you see the demise of Medicine Jack 你有没有看到医学杰克的灭亡

His pitiful face still painted black 他可怜巴巴的脸还涂成黑色

Just a spit and a stride from the rolldown shack 只是一吐，并从辊轧窝棚一个箭步

Down on by the railroad track? 倒在了铁轨？

Don't turn your back on Medicine Jack! 不要把你的背部上药杰克！

   

I was thinking about the ghost of Medicine Jack 我在想医药杰克的幽灵

On starless nights when the sky is black 在没有星光的夜晚，天空是黑的

I can hear him singing those deadman's blues 我能听到他唱歌的亡者蓝调

And whistling down by the railroad track 呼呼下来的铁轨
