There was a man whose deeds were dark as night 有一个人，他的事迹被黑暗如夜

And quite by chance he rode into the light 并且很偶然的机会，他骑着成亮

A man, wild as a dust devil with, no place to run 一个人，野性的沙尘暴有，没地方跑

Livin' by his wits and by his gun 活着的话被他的智慧和他的枪

   

He met a girl like none he'd ever known 他遇到了像没有一个女孩，他会见过的

She cared not for the wild oats he had sewn 她并不野生燕麦他缝

And, so, he laid his gun down and set his spirit free 而且，这样，他把他的枪下，并设置他的精神自由

Began livin' in respectability 始于尊严活着

   

But his old ways of thinkin' wouldn't die 但想着他的老方式“不会死

Could not forget the old creed he lived by 无法忘记旧的信条，他在生活中

And the good and bad and the right and wrong kept fightin' for his soul 而好和坏的对与错不断争斗“为他的灵魂

Till his heart and mind both went out of control 直到他的心脏和头脑两者失控

   

But now the old saloon had lost its spell 但现在老轿车已经失去了它的咒语

What once was laughter now was livin' hell 曾经笑什么，现在还活着的地狱

And the hookers, guns and drinkin' in his life were out of place 而在他的生活中妓女，枪支和喝酒是不合时宜的，

And in his mind he saw an Angel's face 而在他的脑海，他又看见一位天使的脸

   

So, he burned all his bridges in a day 于是，他烧掉了他所有的桥梁在一天

And the Devil deeds were done and laid away 魔事迹被完成，奠定了走

And he rode out a better man than when he first rode in 他骑了一个更好的人比他在第一次骑

And the Angel got the Badman in the end 和天使到底得了白德曼
