歌词
Well, out of Southern Illinois
从南部的伊利诺斯
Come a down home country boy
来了个乡下小伙子
He gonna make it in the city
他要在这城里的
Playin' guitar in the studio
录音室弹着他心爱的吉他
Oh well, he hadn't been there an hour
好吧，他迟了一个钟头
When he met a Broadway flower
他邂逅了百老汇的花旦
You know she took him for his money
你也知道她就图他的钱
And she left him in a cheap hotel
留他寄宿在那破旅店
Oh well, it's easy for you to see
你感觉这事可能无关紧要
That that country boy is me
那可怜的乡下男孩就是我
Say and how am I ever gonna break the news
你说我该如何把这事告诉
To the folks back home
我那家乡的父老乡亲
Well, I was gonna be a great success
嗯 或许有一天我会取得成功
Things sure ended up a mess
这些烦心事总会有个了结
But in the process I got messed up too
但这过程中我就搞砸了
But hello Mama and Dad I had to call collect
嘿，老爸老妈，我要给他们他们打个电话
'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name
我那名声不值毫厘
Well, I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway
那就只能在旅馆门口露宿一晚
And tonight they say it's gonna rain
听别人说今晚还阴雨绵绵
And if you'd only send me some money
若你给我寄点钱
Oh, I'll be back on my feet again
或许我还能振作起来
Send it in care of the Sunday Mission

Well back in Southern Illinois
回到伊利诺斯
They're still worryin' 'bout their boy
他们依旧牵挂着那小伙子
But this boy's goin' home
但那少年已踏上回家的路
Soon as he gets the fare
他攒够了车票钱
Because as soon as I got my bread
因为我又要忙于生计
I got a pipe upside my head
头上卡着那烟斗
You know they left me in an alley
他们把我留在那小胡同
Took my money and my guitar, too
还拿走了我那心爱的吉他和钱
And hello Mama and Dad I had to call collect
嘿，老爸老妈，我得给他们他们打个电话
'Cause I ain't got a cent to my name
我那名声不值毫厘
Well, I'm sleepin' in the hotel doorway

And tonight they say it's gonna rain
