Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town 哥们我去了血色镇

Never been there before 从未去过那儿

You slept on a feather bed 你睡在羽毛床

I slept on the floor 我睡在地板上

   

I don't mind a lean old time 我不介意一个精干旧时光

Or drinking my coffee cold 或喝我的咖啡冷

But the things I seen in Scarlet Town 但是事情我在血色镇看到

Did mortify my soul 没治死，我的灵魂

   

Look at that deep well 你看那个深井

Look at that dark grave 你看那个黑暗的坟墓

Ringing that iron bell 敲响铁钟

In Scarlet Town today 在当今大红城

   

I spent some time in New Orleans 我花了在新奥尔良一段时间

And came along a bend 沿着弯曲来

But Scarlet Town brought me down 但血色镇给我带来了下来

Low as I ever been 低，因为我去过

   

Look at that deep well 你看那个深井

Look at that dark grave 你看那个黑暗的坟墓

Ringing that iron bell 敲响铁钟

On the day I came to Scarlet Town 在一天，我来到了血色镇

You promised I'd be your bride 你答应过我会成为你的新娘

You left me here to rot away 你离开我这里烂掉

Like holly on a mountainside 像冬青上了山

   

Look at that deep well 你看那个深井

Look at that dark ray 你看那个黑暗的光线

Ringing that iron bell 敲响铁钟

In Scarlet Town today 在当今大红城

   

Now you may hide in Scarlet Town 现在，你可以隐藏在血色镇

For a hundred years or more 一百年以上

But the man who knows what time it is 但该名男子谁知道这是什么时候

Is knocking at the door 在门口敲门

   

So fare you well, my own true love 所以永别了吧，我自己的真爱

If you never see me around 如果你永远也看不到我身边

I'll be looking through a telescope 我会通过望远镜

From hell to Scarlet Town 从地狱到大红城
