Everybody's working in this town and it's worrying me night and day
镇上每个人都在工作这让我日夜担忧
Everybody's working in this town and it's worrying me night and day
镇上每个人都在工作这让我日夜担忧
If that mean working too have to work for the W P A
如果这也意味着工作那就必须为WPA工作
Well well the landlord come this morning and he knocked on my door
房东今早来敲我家的门
He asked me if I was going to pay my rent no more
他问我是不是再也不用付房租了
He said you have to move if you can't pay
他说如果你付不起钱你就得搬走
And then he turned and he walked slowly away
然后他转过身慢慢地离去
So I have to try find me some other place to stay
所以我得另寻栖身之所
That housewrecking crew's coming from the W P A
破坏民宅的人来自西太平洋
Well well went to the relief station and I didn't have a cent
去了救济站我身无分文
If that's the only way you stand you don't have to pay no rent
如果这是你唯一的出路你不用付房租
So when I got back home they was tacking a notice on the door
所以当我回到家他们在门上钉了一个通知
This house is condemned and you can't live there no more
这房子已经被没收了你不能再住在那里了
So a notion struck me I better be on my way
我突然有个想法我最好赶紧走
They're going to tear my house down ooo that crew from the W P A
他们会把我的房子拆了那些来自WPA的人
Well well I went out next morning I put a lock on my door
好吧好吧第二天早上我出门我锁上了门
I thought I would move but I have no place to go
我以为我会搬走可我无处可去
The real estate people they all done got so
房地产行业的人都做过
They don't rent to no relief clients no more
他们再也不租给救济金客户了
So I know have to walk the streets night and day
所以我知道我必须日夜奔波在街头
Because that wrecking crew's coming ooo from that W P A
因为那些搞破坏的人都是从西太平洋来的
Well well a notion struck me I'll try to stay a day or two
好吧我突然有个想法我会试着多待一两天
But I soon found out that that wouldn't do
但我很快就发现这样不行
Early next morning while I was laying in my bed
第二天清晨我躺在床上
I heard a mighty rumbling and the bricks come tumbling down on my head
我听到轰隆隆的声音砖头砸在我的头上
So I had to start ducking and dodging and be on my way
所以我不得不开始闪躲然后继续上路
They was tearing my house down on me ooo that crew from that W P A
他们把我的房子都拆了那些来自WPA的人
