歌词
When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
当太阳升起时，在一个沉睡的小镇上
Down around San Antone
就在圣安东尼奥那儿
And the folks are risin' for another day
乡亲们又开始了新的一天
'Round about their homes
围绕着他们的家
The people of the town are strange
镇上的人都很奇怪
And they're proud of where they came
他们为自己的出身感到骄傲
Well, you talkin' 'bout your China Grove
你说的是你的“华林镇”吗
(talkin' 'bout your china grove)
（谈论你的华林镇）
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove
哇，哦（哇，哦）华林镇
好吧，传教士和老师
Well the preacher and the teacher
上帝，他们是一个警告
Lord, they're a caution
他们是镇上的话题
They are the talk of the town
当流言蜚语飞扬，他们不说谎时
When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'
当太阳落下
When the sun goes underground
他们说，主是个疯子
They say that the father's insane
亲爱的佩金夫人是个游戏
And dear Mrs. Perkin's a game
好吧，说说你的 "华林镇 "吧
Well, talkin' 'bout your China Grove
（谈论你的华林镇）
(talkin' 'bout your china grove)
哇，哦（哇，哦）华林镇
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove
但每天都会有新的事情发生
东方的思想和方式
But everyday there's a new thing comin'
治安官和他的朋友们拿着武士刀
The ways of an oriental view
你甚至可以在晚上听到音乐
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
虽然它是孤星州的一部分（Lone Star State即得克萨斯州）
You can even hear the music at night
人们似乎并不关心
他们只是不停地往东边看。
Though it's a part of the Lone Star State
说说你的 "华林镇 "吧。
People don't seem to care
（谈论你的华林镇）。
They just keep on lookin' to the east
哇，哦（哇，哦）华林镇
