In one hand he had a drink 在一方面，他喝了点酒

You know I played ‘til I was broke 你知道我打，直到我破产

Then I upped and walked away 然后我调升走开了

For to get some sympathy for way the stranger treated me 为了得到一些同情的方式对待陌生人我

Well he walked up as bold as brass 嗯，他走到厚颜无耻的

Folks say he fell overboard, and was washed out to sea 伙计们说他落水，被卷入大海

And here I'm sitting here in a shiny blue suit 在这里，我坐在这里，在一个闪亮的蓝色套装

Just a-grinnin' like a crazy fool 只是，的笑着像一个疯狂的傻瓜

Kinda wonderin' what to do with the other sleeve 有点迷惘做什么用的其他套
