歌词
These are the words of a frontier man
这是来自死亡边缘的少年的自白，
当他触及法律底线时，他就失去了自己的爱人。
Who lost his love when he turned bad.
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
但不要告诉她我现在何处。
Take a message to Mary
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
但不要告诉她我身陷囹圄。
But don't tell here where I am
请告诉她我想去看看世界，
或者告诉她我已扬帆起航。
Take a message to Mary
请告诉她不要再为我等待，
但不要告诉她我身陷囹圄。噢，不要告诉她我身陷监狱。
But don't say I'm in a jam
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
但不要告诉她我所犯下的罪。
You can tell her that I had to see the world
请不要提到那架马车，
和那条走火的枪。
Tell her that my ship set sail
请告诉她我必须更改我的计划，
取消我们的婚礼。
You can say she'd better not wait for me
但不要告诉她我身处监狱，
将在这里走过最后一程，直到我死的那天。
But don't tell her I'm in jail, oh don't tell her I'm in jail.
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
但请不要说出你知道的所有事。
Take a message to Mary
我的心为玛丽而刺痛，
主知道我是多么想念她。
But don't tell her what I've done
就告诉她我正前往廷巴克图,
告诉她我正准备淘金。
Please, don't mention the stage coach
请告诉她去找一个新的爱人，
来珍惜她，爱护她。啊，上帝，这间牢房冰冷彻骨。
And the shot from a carried gun
You better tell her that I had to change my plans
And cancel out the wedding-day
But please, don't mention the lonely cell
Where I'm gonna pine away, until my dying-day.
Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her all you know
My heart is aching for Mary
Lord know I miss her so
Just tell her that I went to Timbukto
Tell her I'm searching for gold
You can say she better find someone new
To cherish and to hold, oh Lord, this cell is cold.
