Long Gone Lonesome Blues

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
我跑到河邊看魚兒暢遊
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord!
但我到達那條河時，寂寞難耐...哦我的天吶
And then I jumped in the river,
然後我跳進河裡
but the doggone river was dry.
但那該死的河已乾涸
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
她早就走了，現在我寂寞憂傷
I had me a woman who couldn't be true .
我有了個女人，但名不副實
She made me for my money and she made me blue.
她賺了我好多錢，她讓我鬱悶
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,
男人需要一個他可以依靠的女人
But my leanin' post is done left and gone.
但我依靠的人已疲倦而離去
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
她早已走了，現在我寂寞而憂鬱
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.
我要找一條河，冷得像冰一樣的那條河
And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
當我找到那條河，天吶，我會付出代價
I'm goin' down in it three times,
我要來三次
but Lord I'm only comin up twice.
但天吶，我只來了二次
She's long gone , and now I'm lonesome blue.
她早已走了，現在我寂寞憂傷
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out;
她星期天告訴我，她退房離開我
Long about Monday she was nowhere about.
整個星期一不知道她在何方
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
到了星期二，還是杳無音訊
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
我要忘掉這些，但我無法忘掉憂傷
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
她早已走了，現在我寂寞憂傷
