歌词与中文翻译
Well I met him at the courthouse
我曾在法院见过他
Playin′ French harp on the steps
忍不住嘲笑他的举止
And I loved him like a brother
像对待弟弟一样爱着他
No better friend could any man have
没有比这更好的朋友了
Well his daddy was a rounder
他的爸爸是个十足的酒鬼
Till he drank his self to death
去世时手里还拿着酒瓶
Left his momma to raise the family
他只得背井离乡去赚钱
She was working when she drew in her last breath
妈妈在工作时咽了气
人们宣布自己无罪
People say we′re no count and we′re sorra
以后的道路崎岖不平
But it′s a long hard road we travel on
发财是不可能的事情
And we′ll never, never strike it rich
在这个地方
Down in Sugar Ditch
他输光了所有的金钱
Well he never had no money
他在人们面前消失
And no way to get him none
留给众人一个穷孩子的印象
Just a poor boy going nowhere
在一个早晨离开
Till one morning, morning he was gone
忽然听说他在孟菲斯
每个人都知道他的名字
Well I heard he′s up in Memphis
他冲破了破陋的监狱
Everybody knows his name
我一定要跟随着他
He broke out of this red dirt prison
人们说“我们无罪”
And I swear I′ll follow him someday
但未来的路还很漫长
People say we′re no count and we′re sorra
我们在苦海中难以脱身
But it′s a long hard road we travel on
陷在此地无法自拔
And we′ll never, never strike it rich
我马上就要离开了
Down in Sugar Ditch
因为这里我看不到未来
我选择离开
I′m going away, I′m going away
因为这里早已灰尘满布
Cause there ain′t no future in this place
我即将就要离开
I′m going away, I′m going away
即将离开
Cause there ain′t no future in this place
I′m gonna leave Sugar Ditch
I′m going away
