A cowpoke rode in one hot dusty day to a store down in old San Antone à牧童在老圣安东骑在一个炎热的尘土飞扬的日子到店下来

He stood at the window and I heard him say do I have a letter from home 他站在窗前，我听到他说我有一封家信

The postmaster looked through the mail that had come 香港邮政署长期待通过表明来意邮件

Then smilingly shook his grey head 然后笑着摇了摇头灰

The cowboke looked sadly a moment at him and these are the words that he said 该cowboke神情黯然了一下他，这些都是他说的话

   

No letter from home no letter from home there's never a letter from home 从家无信不信，家里还有永远不会家信

(No message from mother and none from the other) there's never a letter from home （没有来自母亲，没有消息，来自其他）还有从来没有一个家书

   

That night he was shot on the wrong side of town no more of those plains will he roam 那天晚上，他被枪杀在城镇没有更多的平原错误的一边将他漫游

I reached for my Bible and gave it to him and said son here's your letter from home 我拿起我的圣经，并把它给了他，说儿子这是从家里的来信

If only I had just a little more time to read it the young cowpoke said 如果我有一点点时间来阅读它年轻的牧童说：

I can't take it with me and I must go on then he died with his letter unread 我不能把它给我，我必须继续下去，然后，他用他的信读死

   

The letter from home the letter from home no time for the letter from home 从家里的来信，家里没时间把信从家里的信

(The cowboy laid dead with his letter unread) too late for the letter from home 从家里的来信（牛仔奠定了死亡，他的信读）为时已晚
