I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy Mississippi 我几乎看不到我的脸在泥泞的密西西比河水域

But I can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me 但我可以看到丝棉木站立的阴影在我

The morning sun would find me 清晨的阳光会找到我

Swinging from the rope that's hanging free 从悬挂的免费绳子摆动

And I drop in to the waters 我在下降到水域

And go swimming in the muddy Mississippi 走在泥泞的密西西比河游泳

   

A boy came to the Delta 一个男孩来到三角洲

And we would swing together from that tree 我们会一起从树上荡

I could see my dreams in his eyes 我可以看到我的梦想在他的眼睛

As he held on to me 当他扶着我

Swinging in the sunlight 摇摆在阳光下

Loving in the shadows 爱的阴影

Wild and free 野生和自由

And I made him promise he would take me 我让他保证，他会带我

Down to New Orleans 下到新奥尔良

   

Bright lights of the city made my red dress and shoes look brand new 城市明亮的灯光使我红色的衣服和鞋子看起来全新

While he worked the night shift 虽然他工作的夜班

I turned on and I turned loose 我打开，我打开松动

I lost my pride I lost my man 我失去了我的骄傲我失去了我的男人

I did things a girl like me shouldn't do 我做的东西像我这样的女孩不应该做的

   

Now I can't face this living 现在，我无法面对这个生活

With the swelling signs of new life 随着新生命的肿胀迹象

Showing through 通过展示

   

I can hardly see my face in the waters of the muddy Mississippi 我几乎看不到我的脸在泥泞的密西西比河水域

But I can see the shadows of the cotton wood standing over me 但我可以看到丝棉木站立的阴影在我

The morning sun would find me 清晨的阳光会找到我

Hanging from the rope that's swinging free 从摆动的无绳子吊

And I'll swing for the last time over the waters 我会摇摆的最后一次过水

Of the muddy Mississippi 泥泞的密西西比河

   

Yeah the muddy Mississippi 是啊泥泞的密西西比河
