The Broken Down Tramp - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]
Written by:Thomas Herrington[00:00:01]
I'm a broken down tramp without money[00:00:04]
My clothes are all tattered and torn[00:00:08]
And I am so sad and so lonely[00:00:13]
I wish I had never been born[00:00:18]
All through this wide world I have wandered[00:00:23]
Inquiring for something to do[00:00:28]
But whenever I ask for a job of work[00:00:33]
They say they have none for a tramp[00:00:37]
Now drink was the 'cause of my downfall[00:00:51]
And the money I had I've outrun[00:00:56]
And the friends that were mine when I had it[00:01:00]
Now pass by and call me a bum[00:01:05]
Now don't be too hasty to judge me[00:01:11]
As I drift along with the tide[00:01:16]
My clothes may be ragged and dirty[00:01:20]
But a clean heart is beating inside[00:01:25]
One night on a dark lonely railroad[00:01:39]
A hobo all hungry and cold[00:01:43]
Saw an empty boxcar on the siding[00:01:48]
He climbed in and closed up the door[00:01:53]
Six months he had rode on the railway[00:01:58]
When the brakeman came 'round with his light[00:02:03]
He was shoved from the car[00:02:08]
And was killed by the train[00:02:09]
Because he was only a tramp[00:02:13]
Now young men let this be a warning[00:02:26]
For all you who long for the road[00:02:31]
Better stick to the straight life and don't be like me[00:02:35]
A poor bum to die in the cold[00:02:40]
Now don't be too hasty to judge me[00:02:46]
As I drift along with the tide[00:02:51]
My clothes may be ragged and dirty[00:02:55]
But a clean heart is beating inside[00:03:00]
