There's a wreath of bone's and ribbon hangin' on my cabin door 有骨的和色带犹豫不决，在我的小屋门上的花圈

Lusty appetites have ravaged all of summer's stores 精力充沛的胃口蹂躏整个夏天的商店

So I think I'll ride my pony 所以，我想我会骑我的小马

   

Ridin' someplace lonesome has no meaning 坐车的某处寂寞已经没有任何意义

Well the horseman you might say he is a slave to the Brute 好骑手，你可能会说他是一个奴隶的野蛮

Had a girl in Dickson County and we rode the Highland Rim 曾在波德申县一个女孩，我们乘坐的高地外缘
