Mammie delivered me into this world 奶妈救我带到这个世界

Mammie watched my mama die at my birth 妈咪看着我的妈妈模具在我出生

And Mammie she loved me she took me to raise 和奶妈，她爱我，她把我带到提高

Mammie was all I had on this earth 奶妈是所有我在这个地球上

   

Let's get in the firewood, I'd hear Mammie say 让我们在柴火拿到，我听到妈咪说

Let's go to the spring before it gets dark 让我们去春在天黑前

And you do up the dishes while the water's still hot 而你做了菜，而水仍然是热的

And don't throw that dishwater out in the yard 而且不要扔了洗碗在院子里

   

Oh Mammie taught me how to sing a song 哦，妈咪教我怎么唱的一首歌

She taught me to play her old guitar 她教我玩她的老吉他

And at night before bedtime we'd sing for hours 晚上睡觉前，我们会唱几个小时

As the teakettle whistled along on the fire 由于水壶在火上沿吹罚

   

And at night as I laid alone in my bed 晚上我在床上单独敷设

I'd hear Mammie praying and each night she said 我听到妈咪祈祷，每天晚上，她说：

Oh dear God help me raise her to know right from wrong 哦，亲爱的上帝帮助我提高自己知道对错

And I pray she'll do right even after I'm gone. 我祈祷她会做的我走了正确的之后也是如此。

   

I'd wait until Mammie had fallen asleep 我会等到奶妈已经睡着了

Then out of my window I'd quietly sneak 然后从我的窗口我会悄悄潜入

And I'd wait by the mill pond according to plans 而且我的贮木场按计划等待

And there in the darkness I'd meet a man 而且在黑暗中我遇到一个男人

   

Oh it's not that I wanted to bring Mammie shame 哦，这不是我想要把奶妈的耻辱

I just couldn't control wild blood in my veins 我只是无法控制野血在我的血管

They tell me my mama could not name my dad 他们告诉我，我的妈妈不能说出我的爸爸

So I guess it was natural for me to be bad 所以我想这是很自然的我是坏的

   

One night I awoke at the sound of my name 一天晚上，我醒来的时候，在我的名字的声音

Come quickly, I heard Mammie cry 快来，我听到一声奶妈

She said you be good and I told her I would and 她说你是好的，我告诉她我会和

That night I watched as my Mammie died 那天晚上，我看着我的奶妈死了

   

All I have now are the memories of Mammie 所有我现在已经是奶妈的回忆

And the goodness that loving her brought me 和爱她的善良给我带来

Although she is gone in my heart she lives on 虽然她走了我的心脏，她住在

And I know how much good she taught me. 我知道她是多么好教我。

   

Ah Mammie, I'm being good Mammie ... 阿奶妈，我是好奶妈...
