If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son you better not go at night 如果你重新回到长毛沼泽的儿子，你最好不要晚上去

There's things out there in the middle of them woods 有东西赫然出现在了他们的树林中间

That'd make a strong man die from fright 这会成为一个坚强的人死于惊吓

There's things that crawl and things that fly 还有那飞翔的东西，抓取和事

And things that creep around on the ground 而事情蠕变周围地面上的

And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around 他们说， Lucias粘土的鬼起床，它走动

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself 不过，我简直不敢相信，我必须找出自己

And I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody else 我无法想象，我永远不会听别人

No I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself 不，我简直不敢相信，我必须找出自己

That there's some things in this world you just can't explain 这有一些东西在这个世界上，你就不能解释

   

The old man lived in the Wooly Swamp way back in the gurgling woods 这位老人住在猛犸的沼泽归途中潺潺树林

And he never did do a lot of harm in the world 他从来没有做很多的伤害，在世界

But he never did do no good 但他从来没有这样做没有好处

People didn't think too much of him 人们并没有想太多他

They all thought he acted funny 他们都以为他担任搞笑

The old man didn't care about people anyway 老头没在意的人呢

All he cared about was his money 他所关心的是他的钱

He'd stuff it all down in Mason jars and bury it all around 他会的东西也都倒在梅森罐和埋葬各地

But on certain nights if the moon was right 但在某些夜晚，如果月球是正确的

He'd dig it up out of the ground 他希望把它挖出来出地面

He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack 他就倒了所有对他的窝棚地板

And run his fingers through it 并通过它跑他的手指

Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man 老Lucias克莱是一个贪婪的老头

And that's all there ever was to it 而这一切都曾经有过吧

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

The Crayton boys were white trash they lived over on Parvis Creek 在克雷顿的男孩被白色垃圾，他们住在上帕维斯溪

They were a real snake and sneaky as a cat 他们是真正的蛇，偷偷摸摸的猫

And belligerent when they'd speak 和好战的时候，他们会说话

One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet in the Wooly Swamp later 一天晚上，大哥说，你们大家在猛犸的沼泽以后见面

We'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators 我们会老去Lucias的钱，我们会场上他的短吻鳄

They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand 他们发现老人在用铲子背在他的手

And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand 和13生锈梅森罐硬是挖出了沙

And they all went crazy and they beat the old man 他们都疯了，他们击败了老男人

Then they picked him up off the ground 然后，他们捡到了他掉在地上

Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed 然后，他们把他扔在沼泽和他们站在那里，笑了

Till the black water sucked him down 直到黑水吸他失望

Then they turned around and went back to the shack 然后，他们转身又回到了窝棚

And they picked up the money and ran 他们拿起钱就跑

But they hadn't gone nowhere when they realized 但他们并没有原地踏步，当他们意识到

They were running in quicksand 他们在流沙中运行

And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away 它们挣扎着，尖叫着，但他们无法脱身

Then just before they were gone 然后，他们都走了之前

They could hear that old man laughing 他们能听到那老者笑

In a voice that was loud and strong 在声音响亮而强有力的

   

Now that's been fifty years ago an' if you go back by there again 现在，这已经五十年前的“如果你回到了那里了

There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack 有一个在院子里当场在窝棚后面

Where the ground is always wet 其中地面总是湿

And on certain nights if the moon is right 而在某些夜晚，如果月球是正确的

And you're down by the dark footpath 而你下来的黑暗小径

You can hear three young men screaming 你可以听到三个年轻人尖叫

And you can hear that old man laugh 你还可以听到老头笑
