Written by：Lou Gottlieb

In seventeen forty two
一七四二年时
It was customary in the township of halifax
哈里法克斯镇有个习俗
For a gentleman to partake occasionally of ratafia
绅士们常饮一种名为拉塔菲亚的烈酒
Which was a light flavored liquor of amazing potency
这酒芬芳清冽却后劲十足
Which originated in middle sex
产自米德尔塞克斯郡
And which we suppose is the reason for this song
或许这就是这首歌的由来
Oh miss Bailey unfortunate
啊 不幸的贝利小姐
Miss Bailey
贝利小姐
A captain bold in halifax who dwelt in country quarters
哈利法克斯有位豪迈船长 久居乡间宅邸
Seduced a maid who hung herself one Monday in her garters
诱骗少女悬梁自尽 吊袜带上终结芳华
His wicked conscience smitted him
罪恶感日夜啃噬
He lost his stomach daily
令他茶饭不思
He took to drinking ratafia and thought upon miss Bailey
终日痛饮烈酒 贝莉小姐萦绕心头
Oh miss Nailey unfortunate miss Bailey
啊 不幸的贝莉小姐
One night betimes he went to bed
某夜他早早卧床
For he had caught the fever
高烧灼烧着躯体
Said he I am a handsome man
他自称是个英俊男子
And I'm a gay deceiver
也是个风流骗子
His candle just a twelve o'clock
午夜烛火摇曳时
Began to burn quite palely
焰光渐趋惨淡
A ghost stepped up to his bedside and said
幽魂来到他床畔低语
Behold miss Bailey
贝莉小姐在此
Oh miss Bailey unfortunate miss bailey
可怜的贝莉小姐啊
Avast miss Bailey
停手吧 贝莉小姐
Then he cried you can't affright me really
他喊道 你休想吓唬我
Dear captain Smith the ghost replied
亲爱的史密斯船长 幽灵答道
You used me ungenteelly
你待我如此粗鲁无礼
The coroner's quest goes hard with me
验尸官的裁决让我痛苦不堪
Because I've acted freely
只因我曾放纵自己
And parson biggs won't bury me
比格斯牧师不肯为我下葬
Though I'm a dead miss Bailey
尽管我已香消玉殒
Oh miss Bailey unfortunate miss Bailey
噢 不幸的贝莉小姐
Dear mam says he
亲爱的夫人说道
Since you and I must once for all accounts close
既然你我之间必须做个了断
I have a one pound note
我这里有一英镑钞票
In my regimental small clothes
就藏在我的军装衬裤里
Twill bribe the sexton for your grave
用它来贿赂教堂司事为你修坟
The ghost then answered gaily
鬼魂欢快地回答
Bless you wicked captain Smith
愿上帝保佑你这邪恶的史密斯船长
Remember poor miss Bailey
别忘了可怜的贝利小姐
Oh miss Bailey unfortunate miss Bailey
噢 不幸的贝莉小姐
All's well that ends well I suppose
结局圆满便是好事 我想
