Knoxville Girl - The Louvin Brothers

Written by：Traditional

I met a little girl in Knoxville a town we all know well

在我们都熟知的诺克斯维尔 我遇到了一个女孩

And every Sunday evening out in her home I'd dwell

每逢周末的晚上 我守候在她回家的小路上

We went to take an evening walk about a mile from town

我们在夜里静静地散步 不知不觉已经走出小镇一英里远了

I picked a stick up off the ground

我从地上捡起一根木棍

And knocked that fair girl down

把她重重击倒在地

She fell down on her bended knees

她狠狠摔倒 痛哭流涕 双膝弯曲

For mercy she did cry

苦苦求饶

Oh Willie dear don't kill me here

亲爱的威利 求求你 不要杀我

I'm unprepared to die

我还不想死去

She never spoke another word

她再也没说别的

I only beat her more

我一直重重地击打着她

Until the ground around me

直到鲜血流满了

Within her blood did flow

周围的大地

I took her by her golden curls

我抚摸着她金黄的卷发

And I drug her round and around

给她服下**

Throwing her into the river

把她抛入河里

That flows through Knoxville town

河水静静流过诺克斯维尔小镇

Go down go down you Knoxville girl

流逝吧 流逝吧 诺克斯维尔女孩

With the dark and rolling eyes

你黑亮的双眸 不再睁开

Go down go down you Knoxville girl

You can never be my bride

I started back to Knoxville

Got there about midnight

My mother she was worried

And woke up in a fright

在恐惧中惊醒

Saying dear son what have you done

To bloody your clothes so

I told my anxious mother

I called for me a candle

To light myself to bed

I called for me a handkerchief

To bind my aching head

Rolled and tumbled the whole night through

As troubles was for me

忧愁萦绕在我心头

Like flames of hell around my bed

And in my eyes could see

And put me in a cell

My friends all tried to get me out
