[00:00.000] 作曲 : Roger Bowling/Billy Edd Wheeler
[00:10.99] Everyone considered him
[00:13.04] The coward of the county
[00:17.23] He'd never stood one single time
[00:19.72] To prove the county wrong
[00:23.22] His mama named him Tommy
[00:25.91] But folks just called him yellow
[00:29.79] Something always told me
[00:32.83] They were reading Tommy wrong
[00:34.73]
[00:36.77] He was only ten years old
[00:39.61] When his daddy died in prison
[00:42.96] I looked after Tommy
[00:46.10] Cause he was my brother's son
[00:49.64] I still recall the final words
[00:52.74] My brother said to Tommy
[00:57.22] Son my life is over, but yours has just begun
[01:02.27] Promise me, son
[01:05.81] Not to do the things I've done
[01:09.17] Walk away from trouble if you can
[01:13.67] Now it don't mean you're weak
[01:16.12] If you turn the other cheek
[01:19.11] And I hope you're old enough to understand
[01:24.55] Son, you don't have to fight to be a man
[01:27.50]
[01:29.95] There's someone for everyone
[01:32.04] And Tommy's love was Becky
[01:35.72] In her arms he didn't have
[01:38.87] To prove he was a man
[01:42.21] One day while he was working
[01:44.71] The Gatlin boys came calling
[01:48.59] They took turns at Becky
[01:52.93] N'there was three of them
[01:56.34] Tommy opened up the door
[01:58.84] And saw his Becky crying
[02:02.96] The torn dress, the shattered look
[02:05.29] Was more than he could stand
[02:09.19] He reached above the fireplace
[02:11.18] Took down his daddy's picture
[02:14.22] As a tear fell on his daddy's face
[02:17.76] He heard these words again
[02:19.86]
[02:22.46] Promise me, son
[02:24.30] Not to do the things I've done
[02:27.20] Walk away from trouble if you can
[02:31.84] Now it don't mean you're weak
[02:34.79] If you turn the other cheek
[02:37.22] And I hope you're old enough to understand
[02:42.97] Son, you don't have to fight to be a man
[02:45.86]
[02:48.02] The Gatlin boys just laughed at him
[02:50.61] When he walked into the barroom
[02:54.75] One of them got up
[02:56.50] And met him half way cross the floor
[03:00.89] Tommy turned around they said
[03:03.74] "Hey look, old yella's leavin'"
[03:08.58] But you could've heard a pin drop
[03:10.48] When Tommy stopped and locked the door
[03:14.77] Twenty years of crawling
[03:16.12] Was bottled up inside him
[03:20.05] He wasn't holding nothing back
[03:22.96] He let 'em have it all
[03:27.20] Tommy left the bar room
[03:29.14] Not a Gatlin boy was standing
[03:33.94] He said, "This one's for Becky"
[03:35.53] As he watched the last one fall
[03:39.21] N' I heard him say
[03:39.86]
[03:40.31] I promised you, Dad
[03:42.16] Not to do the things you've done
[03:45.54] I walk away from trouble when I can
[03:50.00] Now please don't think I'm weak
[03:52.63] I didn't turn the other cheek
[03:55.58] Papa, I sure hope you understand
[04:01.16] Sometimes you gotta fight
[04:03.01] When you're a man
[04:06.80] Everyone considered him

[04:06.80] Everyone considered him
[04:08.69] The coward of the county
[00:10.99] 人人都觉得他
[00:13.04] 是县里的懦夫
[00:17.23] 他没有一次挺立
[00:19.72] 来证明全县人都错了
[00:23.22] 他妈妈叫他汤米
[00:25.91] 可人们都叫他懦弱的黄种人
[00:29.79] 我却一直觉得
[00:32.83] 他们都看错了汤米
[00:36.77] 他才10岁之时
[00:39.61] 他爸爸死在牢里
[00:42.96] 我照料汤米
[00:46.10] 因为他是我侄子
[00:49.64] 我还记得那句遗言
[00:52.74] 我兄弟对汤米说
[00:57.22] 孩子 我完了 可你还年轻
[01:02.27] 答应我 孩子
[01:05.81] 别跟我学
[01:09.17] 有麻烦 尽量躲开
[01:13.67] 这不是说你软弱
[01:16.12] 要是你忍让
[01:19.11] 我还希望你这岁数能懂我的话
[01:24.55] 孩子 不必用打架来证明自己是个男人
[01:29.95] 人人都会有心上人
[01:32.04] 汤米爱的是贝奇
[01:35.72] 在她的怀抱里 他不用
[01:38.87] 证明自己是个男人
[01:42.21] 一天 他在干活
[01:44.71] 加特林家的孩子们过来喊
[01:48.59] 他们轮奸了贝奇
[01:52.93] 一共三个人
[01:56.34] 汤米打开门
[01:58.84] 看到贝奇在哭
[02:02.96] 撕碎的衣衫 伤痕的面容
[02:05.29] 他再也无法容忍
[02:09.19] 他走到火炉边
[02:11.18] 取下爸爸的照片
[02:14.22] 泪水落到照片里爸爸的面容上时
[02:17.76] 他又听到那些话
[02:22.46] 答应我 孩子
[02:24.30] 别学我
[02:27.20] 遇到麻烦 尽量远离
[02:31.84] 这不意味着你懦弱
[02:34.79] 要是你忍让了
[02:37.22] 我还希望你这岁数能懂我的话
[02:42.97] 孩子 不必用打架证明自己是个男人
[02:48.02] 加特林家的孩子们正在笑他
[02:50.61] 在他走进那家酒馆时
[02:54.75] 其中一个站起来
[02:56.50] 走过地板 中途相遇
[03:00.89] 汤米转过身 他们说
[03:03.74] 看啊 这个黄种人要走了
[03:08.58] 可那里安静得能听到针落地
[03:10.48] 汤米站定 锁上门时
[03:14.77] 二十年 匍匐在地
[03:16.12] 都压抑在他心里
[03:20.05] 他空手回来
[03:22.96] 他让他们拿啥都行
[03:27.20] 当汤米离开酒馆时
[03:29.14] 加特林家的孩子没一个还站着
[03:33.94] 他说 这一拳是为了贝奇
[03:35.53] 在看着最后一个家伙倒地时
[03:39.21] 我听见他说
[03:40.31] 我答应过你 爸爸
[03:42.16] 不跟你学
[03:45.54] 我尽量远离麻烦
[03:50.00] 现在请别觉得我软弱
[03:52.63] 我没忍让
[03:55.58] 爸爸 我真希望你明白
[04:01.16] 有时候你就得打
[04:03.01] 当你成了个男人
[04:06.80] 人人曾觉得他
[04:08.69] 是县里的懦夫
