The air all painted pallid gray 空气全部涂成苍白的灰色

The storm was coming in 暴风雨来临的

Folks were lining out in all directions 人们在各个方向都出衬

Me and Holt and Henry Short 我和霍尔特和亨利短

Were pitching on the skiff 被推销的小艇

Trying to make it home before the night 想前一天晚上做回家

And the gray waves were rolling 和灰色波滴溜溜

Bold the brave, brave ocean and rolled us suckers in 大胆勇敢的，勇敢的海洋，我们推出的吸盘

   

Well I don't keep to goings on 好吧，我不坚持在探班

I tend to stick with kin 我倾向于坚持健

But Watson had it in from the beginning 但沃森从一开始就收到了

He built that house on Chatham Bend 他建立在漆咸德那家

A white-washed knotted pine 白洗净打结松

Ninety acres furrowed for the cane 九十亩紧锁的甘蔗

And he drove it down from Georgia 他开车下来从格鲁吉亚

His dad a martyred soldier 他爸殉国士兵

In the war between the states 在国与国之间的战争

   

Lord, bring down the flood 主啊，打倒洪水

Wash away the blood 洗去血

And drown these everglades 淹死这些沼泽地

And put us in our place 并把我们的情况

We laid Edgar Watson in his grave 我们在他的坟墓奠定埃德加·沃森

We laid him in his grave 我们奠定了他在他的坟墓

   

'Til I'm dust I'll never know 直到我是灰尘，我永远不会知道

Why he came ashore, with all those killers 为什么他上岸，与所有那些杀手

Gathered on the shoreline 聚集在海岸线

Kicking holes in ugly mud 在丑陋的泥脚踢孔

With trigger fingers pinched 随着扳机的手指捏

A brace of rifles, bristled in the wind 步枪的支撑，毛在风中

And we towed his body northbound 我们拖他的身体路北

And buried him all face down with a good view into hell 埋葬了所有的正面朝下一个很好的观点入地狱

   

Lord, bring down the flood 主啊，打倒洪水

Wash away the blood 洗去血

And drown these Everglades 淹死这些沼泽地

And put us in our place 并把我们的情况

We laid Edgar Watson in his grave 我们在他的坟墓奠定埃德加·沃森

We laid him in his grave 我们奠定了他在他的坟墓

We laid him in his grave 我们奠定了他在他的坟墓

We laid him in his grave 我们奠定了他在他的坟墓
