I am a trader, I sell goods from my caravan 我是一个商人，我卖的商品从我的大篷车

I sell to mining towns in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama 我卖在肯塔基州，田纳西州和阿拉巴马州矿业城镇

Once on a moonless night, I was looking for a place to rest 在一个没有月亮的夜晚有一次，我正在寻找一个休息的地方

When I saw a black figure walking slow in the road ahead 当我看到一个黑色的身影在路上走的缓慢前进

So I kinda hung behind, for a while I could see it was a black dog 所以我还挺挂的背后，有一段时间我可以看到它是一个黑色的狗

The black dog stopped and turned and his eyes glowed like inken gold 黑狗停了下来，转过身来，他的眼睛闪着像inken金

And I followed him slowly until I came to a clearing on the side of the road 我跟着他慢慢地，直到我来到了一片空地上的路边

And I stopped, and he stopped too, I cooked my meal I even made him a plate 我停了下来，他也停下了，我煮我的饭我什至让他一盘

But that black dog just sat on the hill, still, and watched me as I ate 但是，黑狗就坐在山坡上，静静的看着我，我就吃了

Then he ran off North, towards the mountains over the ridge 于是他离家出走北，往山过岭

   

I arrived at the next town spooked and after my business day 我到达下一个城镇受到惊吓，我的工作日之后，

I saw that black dog again standing stoic near the southern gate 我看到黑狗再次站在坚忍的南大门附近

He ran North again and my blood ran cold but still I willed to carry on 他又跑了北美和我的血都凉，但仍然有决心进行

Well I finished my last few stops and got my scared ass right back home 好吧，我完成了我的最后几站，并得到了我吓坏了右屁股回家

By the next town I was down and sore and sick from a lack of sleep 到了下一个城镇我下来，全身酸痛，病从睡眠不足

This dog was haunting my mind, my stomach so twisted I couldn't eat 此犬是萦绕我的脑海，我的胃这么扭曲我吃不下

   

Some ol' miners were missin, their familes were out on their porches in the fog 有些OL “矿工想着，他们的年轻人家庭都出在他们的门廊在雾中

And it caught my eye in a picture next to one of them miners was that ol' black dog 它吸引了我的眼球的画面在他们旁边的矿工之一，是OL “黑狗

The old lady with the picture told me there had been a rockslide 老太太的图片告诉我，曾有过一次滑坡

Said 12 miners were missing, maybe dead, and her husband and his dog was inside 说， 12名矿工失踪，可能已经死了，她的丈夫和他的狗在里面

So I told 'em 'bout seeing the dog and how he ran off on that road to the South 所以我告诉时间回合看到狗，以及他如何在这条道路向南跑了

And they said that the way he was running was towards a mine they call the "Devils mouth" 他们说，他跑的方式是对他们所谓的“魔口”地雷

We headed out that way and about three hours later we got to the site 我们领导出的方式和大约三个小时后，我们到达了现场

And they opened that Devil's mouth with about 50 pounds of dynamite 和他们开了魔鬼的嘴约50磅炸药

The rising purple smoke basked in the burning red of the dying sunlight 上升的紫色烟雾晒在阳光下死去的烧红

There inside, barely alive, was that old miner trapped under the rocks 还有里面，勉强活着，是老矿工的岩石下被困

Said he'd been wasting there for over a week with no food or water, help or sleep 说他一直在那里浪费了一个多星期没有食物或水，或帮助睡眠

Since the rockslide trapped him underneath 由于滑坡被困在他之下

Killing his old black dog 杀死他的老黑狗
