Back in Nineteen Twenty-Seven
回到1977年
I had a little farm and I called that heaven
我有一个小农场我称之为天堂
Well the prices up and the rain come down
物价上涨大雨倾盆
And I hauled my crops all into town
我把我的庄稼都拖进城去
I got the money
我有钱
Bought clothes and groceries
买了衣服和日用品
Fed the kids
抚养孩子
And raised a family
组建家庭
Rain quit and the wind got high
雨停了风大了
And the black ol' dust storm filled the sky
天空布满黑色的沙尘暴
And I swapped my farm for a Ford machine
我用我的农场换了一辆福特汽车
And I poured it full of this gas-i-line
我往里面倒满那种东西
And I started rockin' an' a-rollin'
我开始尽情摇摆
Over the mountains
翻山越岭
Out towards the old Peach Bowl
去了一家老餐馆
Way up yonder on a mountain road
在那边的山路上
I had a hot motor and a heavy load
我有一个动力强劲的引擎和沉重的负担
I's a-goin' pretty fast
我一往无前
There wasn't even stoppin'
根本停不下来
A-bouncin' up and down
上蹿下跳
Like popcorn poppin
就像爆米花一样
Had a breakdown
崩溃了
I'm sort of a nervous bustdown of some kind
我有点紧张不安
There was a feller there
那里有个男人
A mechanic feller
一个机械师
Said it was en-gine trouble
说这是引擎故障
Way up yonder on a mountain curve
就在那边的一条山的曲线上
It's way up yonder in the piney wood
就在那边的松树林里
An' I give that rollin' Ford a shove
我把开着的福特车一推
An' I's a-gonna coast as far as I could
我会尽我所能地随波逐流
Commence coastin' pickin' up speed
开始讨好我加快速度
Was a hairpin turn I didn't make it
一路狂飙我没有成功
Man alive I'm a-tellin' you
我告诉你我还活着
The fiddles and the guitars really flew
小提琴和吉他真的飞起来了
That Ford took off like a flying squirrel
福特像飞鼠一样腾空起飞
An' it flew halfway around the world
它飞了半个地球
Scattered wives and childrens
妻离子散
All over the side of that mountain
山坡上到处都是
We got out to the West Coast broke
我们来到西海岸身无分文
So dad-gum hungry I thought I'd croak
饥肠辘辘我以为我会死去
An' I bummed up a spud or two
我买了一两颗钻石
An' my wife fixed up a tater stew
我的妻子准备了美味的炖肉
We poured the kids full of it
我们给孩子们倒满了那种饮料
Mighty thin stew though
美味的炖菜
You could read a magazine right through it
你可以透过它看杂志
Always have figured
我一直以为
That if it'd been just a little bit thinner
如果再薄一点
Some these here politicians

Coulda seen through it
本来可以看透一切
