歌词
He would spend it on the ponies,
他会把钱都花在马儿上,
He would spend it on the girls,
他会把钱都花在女孩上,
Buy his mother gin and roses
他还会为他母亲买去杜松子酒和玫瑰
For her poor old henna'd curls.
去装饰她衰老而可怜指甲花染的卷发。
but when his wife said, "Hey now!
但当她的妻子问道:“嘿,那么现在!
What did you get for me?"
你为我带来了什么?”
He socked her in the chopper,
他拿斧子对她重重一击,
Such a sweet sweet guy was he!
可真是个甜蜜的伙计啊!
And her tears flowed like wine,
于是她的泪如酒流,
Yes her tears flowed like wine,
没错她的泪如酒流,
She's a real sad tomato,
她如今真是一个悲伤的番茄,
She's a busted valentine.
她如今是一个被抛弃的情人。
Knows her mama done told her
早知母亲曾告诉她,
That her man is darned unkind.
这个男人绝非善类。
他是多么爱老式的赛马,
How he loved the old race horses,
他每天都会去赌上一把。
He would bet them every day.
终有一天他押中了宝,
One day he caught a winner
这次干草该变成卷心菜了吧!
And the cabbage wasn't hay!
他沉溺于奢侈的消费,
He indulged in fancy spending,
订购一堆戒指,轿车与皮草,
Ordered rings, cars and furs,
但是呜呼,哀哉啊,
But alas, alack,
就像一刀刺在背上,
Like a stab in the back,
她发现这些都不是为她而买的!
She found out they were not hers!
于是她的泪如酒流,
And her tears flowed like wine,
没错她的泪如酒流,
Yes her tears flowed like wine,
她如今真是一个悲伤的番茄,
She's a real sad tomato,
她如今是一个被抛弃的情人。
She's a busted valentine.
早知母亲曾告诉她,
Knows her mama done told her
这个男人绝非善类。
That her man is darned unkind.
他开始和梅吉厮混在一起,
他又想同弗洛厮混在一起,
He got mixed up with a Maisie,
于是弗洛一把将他推入河中,
He got mixed up with a Flo,
这下子他可再也没机会做不轨之事了!
So Flo shoved him in the river,
他的妻子只能无助地躺在黑暗之中,
He'll not get mixed up no more!
她的身影清晰可见,
His wife then draped herself in black
然后她狠狠地咒骂他这个双面男人,
That showed her figure fine,
就连一点保金也没有为她留下。
Then she cussed him out, the two-faced guy,
于是她的泪如酒流,
No insurance could she find.
没错她的泪如酒流,
And her tears flowed like wine,
她如今真是一个悲伤的番茄,
Yes her tears flowed like wine,
她如今是一个被抛弃的情人。
She's a real sad tomato,
早知母亲曾告诉她,
She's a busted valentine.
这个男人绝非善类。
Knows her mama done told her
That her man is darned unkind.
