[tool: 歌词滚动姬 https://lrc-maker.github.io]
It was there an old cow puncher stepped up and said to me
那是在格里芬镇，一九八三年的时候。
How do you do young fellow and how would you like to go“
一个老牛仔走上前来对我说：
And spend a pleasant summer out in New Mexico
小伙子你好吖，你打算怎么样
I'll furnish you good wages your transportation too
去新墨西哥州挥霍一个愉快的夏天？
If you will but go with me one summer season throug
我会给你提供优厚的酬劳和交通工具，
But if you should get homesick and back to Griffin go
如果你愿意陪同我一个夏天。
Then I'll furnish you no horses from the hills of Mexico
但要是你得了思乡病想回来格里芬，
We left the town of Griffin in the merry month of May
我可不会给你一匹马从墨西哥丘陵骑回来。”
When all the world was lovely and everything was gay
在快乐的五月，我们离开格里芬镇，
With saddles on our horses marching over we did go
整个世界和所有事情都是美好的。
Until we reached the logging out in New Mexico
我们安坐在马鞍上往前走，
It was there our pleasures ended and our troubles they began
直到进入新墨西哥州。
The first hail storm fell on us those cattle how they ran
快乐结束了，我们的麻烦来了！
Through all the thorns and thistles us cowboys had to go
第一场冰雹从天而降打在我们头上，那些牲畜发了疯似地狂奔，
While the Indians watched upon us out in New Mexico
我们这群牛仔不得不穿过整片的荆棘和铁蒺藜，
Well when the drive was over the riders would not pay
而新墨西哥州的印第安人却在冷眼旁观。
To all you happy people this much I have to say
好吧，当司机停车，乘客可不会付钱。
Go back to your friends and loved ones tell others not to go“
对于你们这些快乐的人，我要说的就是这么多：
To the God forsaken country they call New Mexico
回到你朋友和家人的身边告诉他们不要去，
