One of my fondest memories 我的一个最美好的回忆

Was sittin' on my daddy's knee 是我爸爸的膝盖正坐在

Listenin' to the stories that he told Listenin “给他讲的故事

He'd pull out that old photograph 他会拉出来的旧照片

Like a treasured memory from the past 如从过去美好的回忆

And say child 并说孩子

Oh how it would bring a smile 啊，怎么会带来微笑

When he talked about her big blue eyes 当他谈到了她蓝色的大眼睛

And how her beauty ran down to her soul 怎么她的美貌跑下来到她的灵魂

She'd walk across the coal miner's yard 她整个矿工的院子里会走

Them miner's would yell loud and hard 这些矿工会大声嚷嚷，硬

and they'd dream of who would hold 他们会梦想谁也持有

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

She was the belle of Johnson County 她是约翰逊县的美女

Ohio river to Big Sandy 俄亥俄河大沙地

All the miner's they would gather 'round 所有的矿工，他们将收集轮

Talk about the man that came to town 谈论来到镇上的人

Right under their nose 右在他们的鼻子

Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose 偷了范李尔玫瑰的心脏

   

Now the Van Lear Rose could've had her pick 现在，范李尔玫瑰可能已经把她挑

And all the fellers figured rich 和所有的费勒斯想通丰富

Until this poor boy caught her eye 直到这个可怜的男孩引起了她的眼睛

His buddies would all laugh and say 他的伙伴们都会笑着说：

Your dreamin' boy she'll never look your way 你的梦中情人的孩子，她永远也不会看你的方式

You'll never ever hold the Van Lear Rose 你会永远保持范李尔玫瑰

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Then one night in mid July 7月中旬一天晚上，

Underneath that ol' blue Kentucky sky 下面是醇蓝色天空肯塔基

Well, that poor boy won that beauty's heart 嗯，这可怜的孩子赢得了美人的心脏

Then my daddy would look at my mommy and smile 然后我爸爸会看我的妈妈，微笑

As he brushed the hair back from my eyes and he'd say 当他从我的眼睛刷头发回来，他会说

Your mama 你的妈妈

She's the Van Lear Rose 她是范·李尔玫瑰
