Well a-way down yonder on the Candy Creek

不远处糖果小溪边

I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat

我在货车座位上切下一把小提琴

I tuned my fiddle and I rubbed my bow

我调整我的小提琴我擦了擦琴弓

Play a little tune wherever I go

无论我走到哪里都会播放一首小曲

Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

睡眼惺忪的John你最好穿上裤子

Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

睡眼惺忪的John最好系好鞋带

Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

The goose he flopped but he couldn't get loose
