Little Joe the Wrangler
牧马人小乔
Will wrangle nevermore
再也不会争吵
His days with the roundup they are o'er
他写综述的日子已经一去不复返
Was a year ago last April
是一年前的四月
When he rode into our camp
当他来到我们的营地
Just a little Texas stray
就像德州流浪猫
And nothing more
仅此而已
Was late in the evening
深夜时分
When he rode into our camp
当他来到我们的营地
On the little Texas pony he called Chaw

With his brogan shoes
穿着他的兄弟鞋
And overalls a tougher looking kid

You never in your life before had saw

His saddle was a Texas kack
他的马鞍是德州产的
Built many years ago
多年前建造的
An OK spur on one foot lightly swung
一只脚上的马刺轻轻摇摆
With his packroll in a cotton sack
他的背包装在棉袋子里
So loosely tied behind
如此惬意自在
And a canteen from his saddle horn was slung
他的马鞍上挂着一把枪角
He said he had to leave his home

His pa had married twice

His new ma whipped him every day or two

So he saddled up old Chaw one night

And lit a shuck his way
点燃一根烟
He said he'd try to paddle his own canoe
他说他会自力更生
He said if we would give him work

He'd do the best he could

Though he didn't know straight up about a cow

So the boss he cut him out a mount

And kindly put him on
好心让他戴上
He sorta liked this little kid somehow

He learned to wrangle horses

And learned to know them all
渐渐地了解他们
And get them in daybreakk if he could
如果可以的话把他们带到黎明时分
And to trail the old chuck wagon
跟着那辆破旧的货车
And always hitch the team

And help to cook each evening rustle wood
每天晚上帮忙做饭沙沙作响的木头
We had hardly reached the Pecos

The weather it was fine
天气很好
We were camped down on the south side
我们在南边安营扎寨
In a draw
一场平局
When a northern commenced blowing

And we doubled up our guards

It took every one of us to hold them in

Little Joe the Wrangler was called out

With the rest

Scarcely had the little fellow

Reached the herd

When the cattle they stampeded like

A hailstorm on they fled

And everyone was ridin' for the lead

Amid the streaks of lightnin'

There was one horse up ahead

In their speed

With a slicker o'er his head

He was ridin' Old Blue Rocket in the lead

At last we got them millin'

And kinda quited down
有点退缩
And the extra guards back to the wagon went

But there was one a missin'
可我少了一个人
We could see it at a glance
我们一眼就能看出来
Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe

Next morning just at daybreak
第二天清晨破晓时分
We found where Rocket fell

Down in a washout twenty feet below

Beneath his horse his life had gone

His spur had run it's knell

Was our little Texas stray poor Wrangler Joe
