Dear Warden wrote a mother, how much longer must I wait 亲爱的监狱长写了母亲，多少时间，我必须等待

Before you send my boy back home to me 你回家给我的孩子到我面前

She little knew the angels had unlocked the prison gates 她并不知道，天使解锁监狱大门

And the one she loved had already been set free 和一个她爱已被释放

   

The Warden read the letter and then he sadly cried 监狱长读了这封信后，他伤心地哭了

As with these words the sorrow he replied 与这些词的悲伤，他说：

There's little box of pine on the seven twenty nine 有松树的七个29小盒子

Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold 带回亡羊对折

For a pardon from above has returned the one you loved 从上面的赦免已经回到你爱的人

It is the saddest story ever has been told 这是最悲惨的故事不断被告知

   

For he's takin' his last ride never more this world to roam 对于他的羚牛他最后一次乘坐从来没有更多的世界漫游

On his face there is a smile for he knows he's going home 在他的脸上有笑容，因为他知道他要回家了

There's a little box of pine on the seven twenty nine 有松树的七个29一个小盒子

Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold 带回亡羊对折

   

The church was filled with music as the service did begin 教堂里充满了音乐服务也开始

His broken hearted folks were gathered there 他的心碎人在那里聚集

The preacher told the story of a boy who'd gone astray 牧师告诉一个男孩谁就会误入歧途的故事

The heavy load his loved ones had to pay. 重载他的亲人必须支付。

   

When he had breathed his sermon the organ softly played 当他呼吸着他的讲道器官轻轻地打

And on their knees the congregation prayed 并在自己的膝盖会众祈祷

There's a little box of pine on the seven twenty nine 有松树的七个29一个小盒子

Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold 带回亡羊对折

For a pardon from above has returned the one you love 从上面的赦免已经回到你爱的人

It is the saddest story ever has been told. 这是最悲惨的故事不断被告知。
