歌词
As I was walking one midsummer's morning,
我漫步于仲夏之晨，
To hear the birds whistle and the nightingale play,
听着鸟儿的啭鸣、夜莺的歌剧，
Was there that I met a beautiful maiden,
当我沿大道走去，
As I was a walking along the highway.
我遇见一位美丽的姑娘。
「哦，美丽的小姐，您到哪里去？」
Oh where are you going my fair pretty lady,
您早早出发动身去哪里？」
Where are you going so early this morn,
她答道，「好先生，我去看望我的邻居，
She answered, kind sir to visit my neighbours,
我要去林肯郡我的故乡。」
I'm going down to Lincoln the place I was born.
「哦，我可能和您同行，
可能作您亲爱的旅伴？」
Oh may I go with you my fair pretty lady,
她转过头向我微笑，说，
May I go along in your sweet company,
「只要您愿意，好先生。」
She turned her head round and smiling all at me,
我们没同行多远，
Said you may come with me kind sir if you please.
年轻的少女就打破了拘束，
她坐在我身边同我说话，
We hadn't been walking a few miles together,
我们一把接一把地打起纸牌。
Before this young damsel began to show free,
我说，「亲爱的小姐，既然你这么爱玩牌，
She sat herself down saying sit down beside me,
我猜这个玩法你准想知道——
The game we shall play will be one, two and three.
它叫作『四肢着地』。」
于是我拿出牌盒，开始第一轮游戏。
I said my dear lady if you're fond of the gaming,
她切了牌，我发牌，
There's one game I know I would like you to learn,
我把王牌都发给她，烂牌自己留下，
The game it is called The Game Of All Fours,
她出了张A，我出张J，说，
So I took out my pack and began the first turn.
「J怎么就这么喜欢我呢？
我再也不洗牌了。下一把若是你来发，
She cut the cards and I fell a dealing,
我一定拿到最好的牌。」
I dealt her a trump and myself the poor Jack,
然而下一次依然她拿王牌，我拿烂牌，
She led off here ace and stole the Jack from me,
然而我还是拿着可怜的J输掉了游戏。
Saying Jack is the card I like best in your pack.
于是我拿起帽子，向她告别，说，
「你真是我认识玩得最棒的人了。」
I dealt the last time, its your turn to shuffle,
她回道，「我的小情人，明天再来啊，
My turn to show the best card in the pack,
我们还要一起玩牌，玩啊玩啊玩啊玩啊玩啊没个停……」
Once more she'd the ace and stole the Jack from me,
Once more I lost when I laid down poor Jack.
So I took up my hat and I bid her good morning,
I said you're the best that I know at this game,
She answered, young man, come back tomorrow,
We'll play the game over and over and over and over and over again
