On the day mama died she called daddy to her side 在一天妈妈死了，她叫爸爸了她的身边

And said I'll be going soon 并说我会很快去

I know it's gonna hurt you both but promise me before I go 我知道这会伤害你，但双方答应我，在我走之前

You'll do what I ask of you 你会做什么，我问你

In a big red Folger's can hid behind the pots and pans 在一个大红色的福尔杰的罐藏锅碗瓢盆的背后

You'll find some money that I've saved 你会发现一些钱，我已经救

In the back of my dresser drawer I put away a little more 在我的梳妆台抽屉后面我放好一点

For a rainy day 以备不时之需

Go to town and buy that new guitar cause he's been workin' awful hard 去镇上买新吉他，因为他一直在日夜不停的可怕的硬

To get his own to write his songs 让他自己去写他的歌

What a memory oh what a memory 什么是记忆哦，什么是记忆

Even in her final moments mama thought of me what a memory 即使在她临终的妈妈我的想法是什么内存

   

She was only thirty-five I was fifteen asking why the Lord took her away 她只有35我是15问为什么上帝把她带走

He must have known we needed her she was an angel here on earth 他一定知道，我们需要她，她是一个天使在地球上

I still miss her everyday 我依然想念她的日常

With all her friends and half the town and her family gathered round 她所有的朋友和半城镇和她的家人围坐

I bet she never felt so loved 我敢打赌，她从来没有感觉到爱

When everybody's heads were bowed I did my best to make her proud as I stood up 当每个人的头都拜倒我尽力让她感到骄傲，因为我站起来

And I sang Rock Of Ages cleft for me as I played it on that new six-string 我唱摇滚时代裂了我，我打它新的六弦

I couldn't help but cry as we said goodbye 我也忍不住哭，因为我们说了再见

What a memory... 什么是记忆...

Even in her final moments mama thought of me what a memory 即使在她临终的妈妈我的想法是什么内存
