Look out, Mama,
(小心啊，老媽)

there's a white boat comin' up the river
(警察坐著船來找我們了)

With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
(船上有紅色的塔台，旗子，一個條子站在欄桿前)

I think you'd better call John,
(你最好快打電話給阿強)

'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
(因為這些警察看起不像是來送信的)

And it's less than a mile away
(而且他們離我們很近啊)

I hope they didn't come to stay
(希望他們不要來檢查我們的船)

It's got numbers on the side and a gun
(他們的船有個編號，還有槍)

And it's makin' big waves.
(到時大家就尷尬了)

Daddy's gone,
(爸爸不在家)

my brother's out hunting in the mountains

So the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin'
(所以，這個地方要靠我了)

And I just turned twenty-two
(我今年才剛滿22歲)

I was wonderin' what to do
(我該怎麼辦呢？)

And the closer they got, The more those feelings grew.
(他們越接近我，我就有種不祥的預感)

Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin'
(我拿著我爸的來福槍，我覺得有了點勇氣)

He told me,
(老爸告訴過我)

Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin'
(若有看到紅色的東西，就要趕快跑)
But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin'
(他們先開槍，射在我家船板上，他們要來抓我了)

Raised my rifle to my eye
(於是我拿起來福槍，瞄準他們)

Never stopped to wonder why.
(這一瞬間，千萬不要猶豫)

Then I saw black, And my face splashed in the sky.
(開第一槍之後，我的眼前就一片慘黑)

Shelter me from the powder and the finger
(好可怕啊，我真希望永遠忘記火藥在我眼前爆炸的感覺)

Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
(我一直在想，我為什麼會開槍呢？)

Think of me as one you'd never figured Would fade away so young
(我不再是原來的我了，天真的男孩已經死了)

With so much left undone
(天啊，我有很多事還沒作)

Remember me to my love,
(希望我女朋友會記得我)

I know I'll miss her.
(從今以後，我無法回到過去了，但我知道我會想她……)
