Those other years those dusty years

When we drove the big hearse through

I tried to forget the miles we rode

And Spanish Johnny you

He'd sit beside a water ditch
他会坐在水沟旁
When all his herd was in
当他的牛群归栏时
He'd never harm a child
他从不伤害孩童
But sing to his mandolin
只是弹着曼陀林歌唱
He sang the old songs the old talk
他唱着古老的歌谣 诉说着往事
And the dealin' of our games
还有我们游戏的约定
Spanish Johnny seldom spoke

But sang songs of Spain
却总吟唱着西班牙民谣
And his talk with men was vicious talk
当他醉饮杜松子酒时
When he was drunk on gin
与人的交谈便充满戾气
But those were golden things he said
但对他的曼陀林倾诉时
To his mandolin
字字句句都如黄金般珍贵
We had to stand we had to judge

We had to stop him then

See those hands so gentle to a child

Had killed so many men
却夺走过那么多生命
He died a hard death long ago
他在很久以前痛苦地死去
Before the roads came in
那时道路还未修通
And the night before he swung
就在行刑前夜
He sang to his mandolin
他还弹着曼陀林歌唱
We carried him out in the morning light
我们在晨光中将他抬出
The man who done no good
这个一生作恶的男人
Laid him down in a cold cold clay
让他长眠于冰冷黄土
Stuck in a cross of wood

And a letter we wrote to his kinfolks

To tell'em where he'd been

We shipped it on down to Mexico
将信件与曼陀林一起
Along with the mandolin
