以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供

Everyone knows him as old folks

大家都知道他是个老人

Like the seasons he'll come and he'll go

就像四季更替他来了又去

Just as free as a bird and as good as his word

就像鸟儿一样自由就像他的诺言一样

That's why everybody loves him so

所以大家都那么爱他

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee

总是把勺子落在咖啡里

Tucks his napkin up under his chin

他把纸巾藏在下巴下面

And his yellow cob pipe is so mellow hits right

他那黄色的烟管真的好迷人

But you needn't be ashamed of him

但你不必为他感到羞耻

In the evenings after supper

晚上吃完晚饭

What stories he would tell

他会讲述怎样的故事

How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day

那天他在葛底斯堡为林肯发表演讲

Lord I know that one so well

上帝啊我对那个人了如指掌

I don't quite understand about old folks

我不太理解老年人

Did he fight for the blue or the gray

他是为蓝色还是灰色而战

Seems that I heard him mention

似乎我听到他提到

He lives on a pension

他靠养老金生活

He'll never come right house and say

他永远不会来到我家对我说

Then he leaves the late train at the station

他在车站下了末班车

Sits in the west holl when he always do

他总是坐在西海岸

Well he is so a male every night without fail

他每天晚上都像个男子汉从不失手

He sneek himself littel nippel or two

他对自己嗤之以鼻

Every friday he'll go fishing

每个星期五他都会去钓鱼

Way down on bazers lake

在巴兹湖边

But he only hook the purche too of way to got away

但他只会想尽办法逃之夭夭

We have to warm up the stay

我们得让枪热起来

Someday there'll be no more old folks

总有一天老人会消失

What a longly old town this will be

这将是一座多么孤寂的老城

Children's voices at play will be still for a day

玩耍时孩子们的声音会安静一天

The day they take old folks away

他们带走老人的那一天
