My great grandma’s name was Selma Drye 我的伟大的祖母的名字是塞尔玛Drye

Everybody tell me I got her hazel eyes 每个人都告诉我，我得到了她的淡褐色的眼睛

It turn Carolina blue when I cry 它把卡蓝的时候我哭了

She kept a 38 special and a can of snuff 她养了38特殊的鼻烟罐

In the pocket of her rip in case something came up 在她遇到麻烦RIP的口袋里上来

She grew up ragged and she grew up rough 她长大了衣衫褴褛，她长大了粗糙

The way she had been 她一直是这样

   

I know so much she’d be proud of me 我就知道这么多，她会为我感到骄傲

‘Cause I’m the only apple on the tree 因为我在树上唯一的苹果

That didn’t hit the ground 这并没有砸在地面上

And sit down in the mud 坐下来在泥

   

But she’s up in heaven raising hell 但她在天堂地狱募集

And if I can stand up by myself 如果我能自己站起来

It’s ‘cause her gunpowder’s running through my blood 这是“通过我的血液使她火药的运行

And when I die put me in the ground beside… Selma Drye 而当我死了把我在地上旁边...塞尔玛Drye

   

Folks round town, they said she was neat 乡亲一轮城镇，他们说她是整齐

But never saw the woman I’ve seen 但从来没有见过我见过的女人

Never even touched a washing machine 甚至从来没有碰过洗衣机

And hung everything on the line 挂一切就行了

   

Kept the peaches and her money in a can and jar 桃子和她的钱罐和罐保存

Never owned a TV or drove a car 从未拥有一台电视机，或开着汽车

That stuff don’t make you what you are 这些东西不会让你你是什么

She used to say that all the time 她常说，所有的时间

   

I know so much she’d be proud of me 我就知道这么多，她会为我感到骄傲

‘Cause I’m the only apple on the tree 因为我在树上唯一的苹果

I still got her words of wisdom playing in my head 我还有智慧她的话在我的头上打

And her old beat-up Bible’s on my night stand by my bed 而她的老打纬圣经对我一夜情我的床

   

I know so much she’d be proud of me 我就知道这么多，她会为我感到骄傲

‘Cause I’m the only apple on the tree 因为我在树上唯一的苹果

When I die just put me in the ground beside… Selma Drye 我死的时候只是把我在地上旁边...塞尔玛Drye

   

Selma Drye… 塞尔玛Drye ...
