歌词与中文翻译
she was called a scarlet woman by the people
人们都说她是个放荡的女人
who would goto church but left me in the streets
那些自己去教堂，却把我抛弃在街上的人们
with no parents of my own, i never had a home
我没有自己的父母，我从未有家
but an eighteen year old boy has got to eat
一个十八岁的男孩需要吃东西养活自己
一个周日早晨她在外面找到了我
she found me outside one sunday morning
正在向陌生人乞讨着的我
begging money from a man i did't know
她带我回去，抹去了我的不幸童年
she took me in and wiped away my childhood
在街头的女人，带着玫瑰的气息
a woman of the streets this lady rose
我躺着的这床玫瑰
在这我学会了如何成为一个男人
this bed of roses that i lay on
我安居的这床玫瑰
where i was taught to be a man
是唯一我所理解的生活
this bed of roses where i'm livin'
她是一个35岁风姿绰约的女人
is the only kind of life i'll understand
镇上很少有人愿与她交流
她做的是夜深人静的生意
she was a handsome woman just thirty-five
像大多数的城镇希望他们可以做的那样
who was spoken to in town by very few
而我则学会了一个男人该懂的所有事情
she managed a late evening business
通过一个并不太同意这样的女人，我猜
like most of the town wished they could do
她死时知道有人真正地爱着她
我从生活的荆棘中为她献上了一支玫瑰
and i learned all the things that a man should know
我躺着的这床玫瑰
from a woman not approved of,i suppse
在这我学会了如何成为一个男人
she died knowing someone really loved her
我安居的这床玫瑰
from life's bramble bush i picked a rose
是唯一我所理解的生活
this bed of roses that i lay on
我躺着的这床玫瑰
where i was taught to be a man
在这我学会了如何成为一个男人
this bed of roses where i'm livin'
我安居的这床玫瑰
is the only kind of life i'll understand
是唯一我所理解的生活
this bed of roses that i lay on
where i was taught to be a man
this bed of roses where i'm livin'
is the only kind of life i'll understand
