Preacher gave it to him when he was eight

That Sunday morning he got saved in that little church

Grandaddy totted it to Bible school
祖父带着它去圣经学校
I bet back then it looked brand new
想必当年它崭新如初
Not a faded word
字迹尚未褪色
Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn
如今封面破损 皮革陈旧
On that Old King James
那本古老的钦定版圣经
He took it with him overseas
他带着它漂洋过海
England France and Germany
辗转英格兰 法兰西与德意志
Right there in the middle of hell
就在炼狱般的战场中央
Said he read it every night

He swore that it'd saved his life
誓言是经卷救他性命
His only hope when there was no hope left

Was in that Old King James

Passed it down to Momma on the day he died

Sat there for the longest time just gathering the dust
在尘埃中静默沉寂多年
But when life would take a sharp turn every now and then

And she would just start missing him

I'd see her pick it up

Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn

You'll find on every other page

Yellow lines or tear drop stains

Every chapter of that good book

Been through cancer war and crazy kids

All the stupid things I did

I may never know the toll I took
永远无法估量的创伤
On her and that Old King James
留给她和那本古老经藏
Yeah I'm the one who's got it now
如今传承到我手上
She said read it when you're feeling down and I said
