When I was a curly headed baby 当我还是一个卷曲的双头婴儿

My daddy sat me down on his knee 我的爸爸让我坐下在他的膝盖

He said, "son, go to school and get your letters, 他说：“儿子，去学校，并得到你的信，

Don't you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me." 难道你是一个尘土飞扬的矿工，孩子，和我一样。 “

   

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow 我出生和长大，在危险的空心口

The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door 煤车轧和隆隆过去我的门

But now they stand in a rusty row all empty 但现在他们站成一排生锈的所有空

Because the l & n don't stop here anymore 由于L＆ n不止步于此了

   

I used to think my daddy was a black man 我曾经以为我的爸爸是一名黑衣男子

With script enough to buy the company store 有够买公司门店的脚本

But now he goes to town with empty pockets 但现在他去镇上空口袋

And his face is white as a February snow 脸色苍白如二月的雪

   

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow 我出生和长大，在危险的空心口

The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door 煤车轧和隆隆过去我的门

But now they stand in a rusty row all empty 但现在他们站成一排生锈的所有空

Because the l & n don't stop here anymore 由于L＆ n不止步于此了

   

I never thought I'd learn to love the coal dust 我从来没有想过我会学会爱煤尘

I never thought I'd pray to hear that whistle roar 我从来没有想过我会祈祷听到汽笛轰鸣声

Oh, god, I wish the grass would turn to money 哦，上帝，我希望草会变成钱

And those green backs would fill my pockets once more 而那些绿色的边后卫将填补我的口袋一次

   

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow 我出生和长大，在危险的空心口

The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door 煤车轧和隆隆过去我的门

But now they stand in a rusty row all empty 但现在他们站成一排生锈的所有空

Because the l & n don't stop here anymore 由于L＆ n不止步于此了

   

Last night I dreamed I went down to the office 昨晚我梦见我走到办公室

To get my pay like a had done before 为了让我的工资就像之前做了

But them ol' kudzu vines were coverin' the door 但他们醇粉葛藤蔓coverin 门

And there were leaves and grass growin' right up through the floor 并有树叶和草正在笙直到通过地板

   

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow 我出生和长大，在危险的空心口

The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door 煤车轧和隆隆过去我的门

But now they stand in a rusty row all empty 但现在他们站成一排生锈的所有空

Because the l & n don't stop here anymore 由于L＆ n不止步于此了
