I will never forget the day the law come take my grandpa away 我永远不会忘记的日子法律来把我的爷爷走

Uncle Bill said, Grandpa you better run, High Sheriff is coming with a posse and a gun 比尔叔叔说，爷爷你更好地运行，高警长来了有一团和一支枪

Grandpa didn’t want to go to jail; he took off a running down the Cumberland Trail 爷爷不想去坐牢;他脱下运行下来坎伯兰步道

   

They said, Hey Hey, I better get my britches on the high sheriffs come and to take me to town 他们说，嘿，嘿，我好让我的裤子上的高警长来带我到城里

Hey Hey, I better get a move on, I better get a move on down 嘿嘿，我最好快一点，我最好还是上下来一招

Sitting in the backseat, jumping like a frog, crazy like a possum putting on a dog 坐在后座上，像青蛙跳跃，疯狂像负鼠穿上狗
