In days gone by but not forgotten 在天过去了，但不能遗忘

I plowed in the fields and I pulled in the cotton í犁在田间地头，我拉着棉花

Things you'd never think I've done when you see me now 你永远不会觉得我已经做了的事情，当你现在看到我

I pick and sing and they think I'm a star 我选择唱歌，他们觉得我是大明星

But every time I look down at my old guitar 但每次我低头看我的旧吉他

I know I'm just six strings away from that same ol' plow. 我知道，我只是六根弦距同醇犁。

   

I drive a new Royce Rolls 我开的是新的劳斯莱斯

Buy them tailor made clothes 买裁缝做的衣服

How long will good times stay 多久会好时光留

A poor boy ways 一个可怜的孩子的方式

And hard time days 和辛苦天

Just six strings away. 就在六弦之遥。

   

[Instrumental] [器乐]

   

I met a girl 'bout a year ago 我认识了一个女孩的回合一年前

In a little country town where I played a show 在一个小乡村小镇，我起了秀

And though I love her I still wonder just what she'd do 虽然我爱她，我仍然不知道正是她会怎么做

If I laid that old guitar down 如果我把老吉他降

How long would she hang around? 多久她会流连？

Or is she just six strings away from someone new. 还是她只是六根弦距新朋友。

   

Well, them six little strings 那么，他们六个小弦

Buy rings and good things 买戒指，好东西

But how long would she stay 但她会停留多久

If she knew poor boy ways 如果她知道贫穷的小男孩方式

And and hard time days 并与辛苦天

Just six strings away... 就在六弦而去...
