Early one morning with time to kill 一天清晨，随着时间的推移杀

I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill 我借了杰布的步枪，坐在山上

I saw a lone rider crossing the plain 我看到了一个孤独的骑手穿越平原

I drew a bead on him to practice my aim 我画了一个圈在他练习我的目标

My brother's rifle went off in my hand 我弟弟的枪在我手里去了

A shot rang out across the land 响了一枪全国的土地

The horse he kept running, the rider was dead 他不停地奔跑的马，骑手已经死了

I hung my head, I hung my head 我挂我的头，我挂我的头

   

I set off running to wake from the dream 我设置了运行从梦中醒来

And my brother's rifle went into the stream 和我弟弟的步枪进入流

I kept on running into the salt lands 我一直运行到盐的土地

And that's where they found me, my head in my hands 而这也正是他们找到我，我的头在我的手中

The sheriff he asked me "Why had I run" 警长，他问我：“为什么有我跑”

Then it came to me just what I had done 然后来找我只是​​我做了什么

And all for no reason, just one piece of lead 而所有没有理由，只是一块铅

I hung my head, I hung my head 我挂我的头，我挂我的头

   

Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there 在这里，在法院，全镇有

I see the judge high up in his chair 我看到法官高高地坐在椅子上

"Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind “解释通过你的头脑出了什么法庭

And we'll ask the jury what verdict they find" 我们会要求陪审团，他们发现了判决“

I said "I felt the power of death over life 我说：“我觉得死了生命的力量

I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife í孤立他的孩子，我守寡妻子

I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead" 我请求他们的原谅，我希望我已经死了“

I hung my head, I hung my head 我挂我的头，我挂我的头

   

Early one morning with time to kill 一天清晨，随着时间的推移杀

I see the gallows up on the hill 我看到绞刑架上山顶

And out in the distance a trick of the brain 大脑和在远处一招

I see a lone rider crossing the plain 我看到一个孤独的骑手穿越平原

He's come to fetch me to see what they done 他来接我去看看他们做

We'll ride together til Kingdom come 我们会一起骑直到国降临

I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead 我祈求上帝的怜悯很快我就死定了

I hung my head, I hung my head 我挂我的头，我挂我的头
