歌词与中文翻译
In The Heat Of The Day Down In Mobile Alabama
在阿拉巴马州莫比尔的炎炎烈日下
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
我在铁轨上卖力工作 钢丝驱动下的铁锤铮铮作响
Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes
我得赚些钱买双崭新的鞋子
Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues
然后找个人乐呵乐呵驱散我内心的忧伤
"She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun“
她不爱我了”只听他们在阳光下即兴唱着
Payday's coming and my work is all done
结工钱的日子就要来临 我的工作也快到头了
Well in the evening when the sun is sinking low
好吧 傍晚的落日完全沉下后
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow
我一整天都在等待口哨声响起
Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks
歪坐在搭建在铁轨上的帐篷里
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
无聊地摸耳挠腮直到工头回来
Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about
伙计们 收拾好你们的家什然后散了吧
We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out
两英里外我们有辆火车出了意外正驶过来
Everybody's scrambling,'n'jumping around
每个人都陷入了混乱 四处跳窜
Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down
速速数清工钱 拆下帐篷
Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane
包工头不禁一阵恐慌 歇斯底里起来
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
设法让这些工人从铁轨上一一撤走
Engineer blows the whistle long and long
工程师的口哨声久久回响
Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on
也无法阻止火车 那就让它继续滚动下去吧
