working滿是hands
He can knock down the wall
他可以推倒這面牆
Build it up strong
因為他明白如何使這面牆更結實
Set the flagstones in a path
再用小石板來裝飾這條小徑
With a nail and a hammer
只需要一把錘子和些許釘子
Barrow and saw
推著手推車看到了?
See about the hole in the roof
看到了屋頂上有個洞
And the gathered all breathe
深深的吸一口氣
A sigh of relief
再慢慢呼出
At completion of a well-laid plan
來列個如何修補屋頂的周密計劃
It's wearing the day long
一天到晚都穿著這身衣服
And breaking the skin
但身上還是會磨破皮膚
In the palms of the workingman's hands
連工人們的手掌和手心也是
工人們就用這雙手工作
Let the tool do the work
只能拉不能推
Pull and don't push
裝著貨物的馬車吃力緩慢的爬上山頂
Drag that wagon over the hill
來回兩次就有一次要割傷這雙手,孩子啊
Measure twice and cut once, son
清理砍伐這些灌木叢
Clear the felled brush
在花園旁邊慢慢走路休息
Edge around the gardens and walks
在約翰迪爾這家很棒的農業公司
On a shiny John Deere
他將會再次出現
Will he reappear
帶著電鑽和油漆刷
With a power drill and a paintbrush
還有一些零件在他的膝蓋上
And a chip on his shoulder
幾乎就像穀倉那麼寬
As wide as a barn
那工人努力工作的雙手
And as hard as the workingman's hands
現在你的約翰舅舅走來了
離學校還有一英里
Now your Uncle John walked
在暴風雨中有兩條艱難的路
A mile to school
唉,你為了節省錢不管地板的那個坑
In a storm and it was uphill both ways
一輛黑色的車與一面種滿玫瑰的院牆
Oh, you save your money for a hole in the ground
深深吸了一口氣
A black car and a long wall of roses
然後緩緩呼出
制定的那個計劃已經完成
And the gathered all breathe
一天到晚穿的都是這身衣服
A sigh of relief
總是會使皮膚磨破
At completion of a well-laid plan
連工人的手掌和手心也是
It's wearing the day long
還有現在那破舊的鐵門
And breaking the skin
工人們可以用新的油漆重新漆門麼?
