I was sittin' beside the road in Blackjack County 我坐在的酒杯县公路旁

Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty 不知道警长支付赏金

For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names 对于男人像我这样谁没有一分钱的名字

So he locked my leg to thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain 于是，他锁定我的腿35磅酒杯县链

   

All we had to eat was bread and water 所有我们不得不吃的是面包和水

Each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter 每一天，我们必须建立这条道路一英里和四分之一

Black sneak whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained 黑鞭偷偷将削减我们的背上时，一些可怜的傻瓜投诉

But we couldn't fight back wearin' 35 pounds of Blackjack County chain 但是，我们不能还手穿着45 35磅酒杯县链

   

And then one night while the sheriff was a sleepin' 然后有一天晚上当警长是睡

We all gathered round him slowly creepin' 大家都聚集在他的周围慢慢情不自禁“

And heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain 和天堂帮我忘记那个夜晚，在寒冷的冷雨

When we beat him death with thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain 当我们打他的死亡与35磅酒杯县链

   

Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful 现在的鞭痕都治好了，我很感激

That there's nothing but a scar round my ankle 这没有什么，但疤痕圆了我的脚踝

Most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again 最重要的是我很高兴的，没有人会再次成为一个奴隶

To a black sneak whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain 一个黑色的潜行鞭和35磅酒杯县链
