[00:00.00]	作词 : Hall
[00:05.64]	There were signs beside
[00:07.20]	the road like "Jesus Saves"
[00:09.49]
[00:11.40]	And "Relieve yourself the fast and gentle way"
[00:15.12]
[00:16.93]	I was lookin' for an old man
[00:19.42]	who lived way back in these hills
[00:21.83]
[00:22.85]	Who just might have a story I could tell
[00:26.61]
[00:28.56]	Pretty soon the blacktop disappeared
[00:31.91]
[00:33.68]	I felt the car change to a lower gear
[00:37.25]
[00:39.31]	I took a drink of liquor
[00:41.41]	just to chase away the chill
[00:44.23]
[00:44.84]	I was 27 miles from Olive Hill
[00:48.99]
[00:50.59]	Ahead I saw the bridge where I turned right
[00:53.96]
[00:56.17]	A dirt road led straight up a mountainside
[00:59.86]
[01:01.81]	I pulled up to a farmhouse
[01:04.17]	I thought I had seen before
[01:06.50]
[01:07.30]	An old man and his dog were at the door
[01:11.24]
[01:12.90]	They told me this old-timer knew this land
[01:16.53]
[01:18.49]	I told him, "Sir, I just don't understand
[01:22.17]
[01:24.36]	Why the kids in this state
[01:26.47]	just grow up and move away
[01:29.20]
[01:29.92]	And leave the land where
[01:31.31]	they were born and raised."
[01:33.79]
[01:35.40]	He said, "Son, you can't make it on this land
[01:38.77]
[01:40.85]	Unless you're happy workin' with your hands
[01:44.68]
[01:46.51]	There ain't no kids today
[01:48.57]	that wanna stay and work it out
[01:51.29]
[01:52.30]	They wanna see the things they hear about."
[01:55.67]
[01:57.71]	He said, "I cleared this whole farm off myself
[02:01.18]
[02:03.18]	And I'd work it now but time has got my health."
[02:06.77]
[02:08.83]	Then starin' out the window restin' in his easy chair
[02:13.51]
[02:14.40]	He told me what I'd really come to hear
[02:18.08]
[02:19.80]	"You know, son, people used to tell their kids
[02:23.13]
[02:25.50]	'Now, I don't want you to
[02:26.73]	have to work the way I did.'
[02:28.88]
[02:30.91]	They don't and some will tell you that it's a shame
[02:34.35]
[02:36.55]	But you have to think before you place the blame."
[02:40.41]
[02:42.16]	I guess we must have talked for half a day
[02:45.58]
[02:47.55]	'Til I told him that I'd best be on my way
[02:51.41]
[02:53.25]	He shook my hand and said,
[02:55.13]	"I'm glad I met you, Mr. Hall
[02:58.25]
[02:58.81]	But I guess there ain't no song here after all."

[00:05.64]	路边有些标志
[00:07.20]	写着类似“耶稣救我”
[00:11.40]	以及“解手时要迅速且礼貌”
[00:16.93]	我在寻找一位老人
[00:19.42]	他就住在这群山背后
[00:22.85]	或许我能说些关于他的故事
[00:28.56]	柏油路很快就到了尽头
[00:33.68]	车子降到了更低的挡位
[00:39.31]	喝了点酒
[00:41.41]	只为驱逐寒意
[00:44.84]	在距离橄榄山27英里之处
[00:50.59]	看到我之前在边上右转的桥
[00:56.17]	尘土覆盖的道路引上山腰
[01:01.81]	我抵达了农舍
[01:04.17]	我想我曾看见过
[01:07.30]	一位老人与他的狗倚在门旁
[01:12.90]	他们说这老人了解这片地方
[01:18.49]	我告诉他：“先生，我就是不明白
[01:24.36]	怎么这个州里的孩子们
[01:26.47]	长大之后就搬出去了
[01:29.92]	离开了这片
[01:31.31]	生他们养他们的地方？”
[01:35.40]	他说：“年轻人，你在这是没法坚持下去的
[01:40.85]	除非你很高兴用自己的双手努力干活
[01:46.51]	现在哪里还有那样的孩子
[01:48.57]	愿意留在这里，自力更生
[01:52.30]	他们想亲眼见见那些听闻过的事物”
[01:57.71]	他说：“我独自打理这个农场
[02:03.18]	还能继续，但岁月也逐渐让我力不从心”
[02:08.83]	而后他躺在安乐椅里凝视窗外
[02:14.40]	把我真正想听的一一道来
[02:19.80]	“你知道吗，孩子，人们总这么告诉他们的子女
[02:25.50]	‘现在，我不想你必须
[02:26.73]	以我曾经努力的方式继续劳作’
[02:30.91]	年轻人不再这么做了，其中一些会说那是种耻辱
[02:36.55]	但你得在批判它前想明白缘由
[02:42.16]	我猜我们相谈必有半天之久
[02:47.55]	直到我提出我最好启程回家
[02:53.25]	他握着我的手并且说道：
[02:55.13]	“很高兴我遇到了你，Mr.Hall，
[02:58.81]	而我想这里再不会响起歌谣”
