Composed by:Roger Bowling/Billy Edd Wheeler
Everyone considered him the coward of the County
每个人都认为他是县里的懦夫
He'd never stood one single time to prove the County wrong
他从未站出来证明整个县是错的
His mama named him Tommy but folks just called him yellow
他的妈妈给他取名叫Tommy但大家都叫他Yellow
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
总感觉他们误解了Tommy的意思
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
他爸爸死在监狱时他才十岁
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
我照顾Tommy因为他是我兄弟的儿子
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
我依然记得我哥哥对Tommy说的最后一句话
Son my life is over but yours has just begun
孩子我的人生已经结束但你的人生才刚刚开始
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
答应我儿子不要做我做过的事情
Walk away from trouble if you can
如果你可以的话远离麻烦
Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
如果你把另一边的脸给我并不意味着你软弱
I hope you're old enough to understand
我希望你长大了能明白
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
孩子你不必为了成为男子汉而拼命抗争
There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
每个人都有自己的爱人Tommy的爱是Becky
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
在她的怀里他不需要证明他是个男人
One day while he was working the Gatlin boys came calling
有一天当他工作的时候加特林兄弟来找他
They took turns at Becky there was three of them
他们三个人轮番Becky
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky crying
Tommy打开门看见他的Becky在哭
The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand
破旧的裙子支离破碎的样子让他难以忍受
He reached above the fireplace took down his daddy's picture
他把手伸向壁炉上方取下他爸爸的照片
As his tear fell on his daddy's face
当他的泪水落在他爸爸的脸上
He heard these words again
他再次听到这些话
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
答应我儿子不要做我做过的事情
Walk away from trouble if you can
如果你可以的话远离麻烦
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
现在如果你把另一边脸翻过来这并不意味着你软弱
I hope you're old enough to understand
我希望你长大了能明白
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
孩子你不必为了成为男子汉而拼命抗争
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him
加特林兄弟嘲笑他
When he walked into the barroom
当他走进酒吧间
One of them got up
其中一个站起来了
And met him half way 'cross the floor
和他在半路相遇在舞池里
When Tommy turned around they said
当Tommy转过身他们说
Hey look old yella's leavin'
嘿看起来好苍老Yella要走了
But you could've heard a pin drop
但你可以听见针掉在地上的声音
When Tommy stopped and locked the door
当Tommy停下脚步锁上房门
Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him
二十年的摸爬滚打在他的心里
He wasn't holding nothing back he let 'em have it all
他毫无保留他让他们拥有一切
When Tommy left the bar room not a Gatlin boy was standing
当Tommy离开酒吧时没有一个Gatlin兄弟站在那里
He said this one's for Becky
他说这首歌献给Becky
As he watched the last one fall
当他看着最后一个人倒下
I heard him say
我听到他说
I promised you Dad not to do the things you've done
我答应过你爸爸不会做你做过的事
I walk away from trouble when I can
我会尽量远离麻烦
Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek
现在请不要觉得我软弱我没有让你打我的脸
And Papa I sure hope you understand
爸爸我真的希望你明白
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man

Everyone considered him the coward of the County
