Written by：Guthrie
I went down to the fishing hole
我去了钓鱼的地方
And I set down with my fishing pole
我拿着钓鱼竿准备出发
Something grabb'd my hook and it got my bait
有什么东西抓住了我的鱼钩让我上钩
And jerked me out in the middle of the lake
把我从湖里捞出来
Some jump
有人欢呼雀跃
I got sunk baptized on credit
我靠着信用接受了洗礼
Fishing down on th' muddy bank
在泥泞的岸边钓鱼
Felt a pull an' give a big yank
感受到一种拉扯与拉扯
I holed out three old rubber boots
我掏出三只破旧的胶靴
A ford radiator an' a Chevrolet coop
福特汽车的散热器和雪佛兰汽车
I handed it in
我交了
For national defence
为了国防
Setting in a boat with a bucket of beer
坐在船上喝着一桶啤酒
Hadn't caught nutting but didn't much care
我没有染上那种东西但我不在乎
I guess I was pretty well satisfied
我想我已经心满意足
Had my little lady right by my side
我的爱人就在我身边
Taking it easy yeah still waiting
放轻松依然在等待
Worm been gone off a that hook for a couple of hours
那种东西已经消失了好几个小时
You go Fishing tell y' what to do
你去钓鱼告诉你该怎么做
Go set down by the grassy dew
Take a piece of string tie it on yo' pole
拿一根绳子绑在你的杆子上
And throw it way out in th' middle of th' hole
把它扔到洞里去
Find you a good shady tree and then just set down
给你找一棵绿荫遮蔽的大树然后落山
Go to sleep forget all about it
酣然入睡忘记一切
Jumped in the river and went down deep
跳进河里潜入深水区
There was a hundred pound cat fish lying there asleep
一条重达一百磅的猫鱼躺在那里睡着了
I jumped on his back and rode him all around
我跳上他的背骑着他到处跑
Saddled him up and I came into town
给他备好马鞍我来到城里
People came running looking dogs a barking
人们跑来看狗在吠
Kids a squalling
孩子们嚎啕大哭
Stagnate water's a stinking thing
停滞不前的水散发着恶臭
Slick on top and all turned green
车篷放了一把全绿了
When the water goes bad the fish all run
当水变坏鱼都落荒而逃
Sit all day and not catch a one
坐了一天也没见一个
Mud wallopers jewgars
我的兄弟们
A few little suckers
几个
I waded out to a sandy bar
我跋山涉水来到一个沙滩酒吧
And I caught myself a big alligator gar
我给自己抓了一条鳄鱼
Brung him home across my back
背着我带他回家
Tail was dragging a mile and a half
尾翼拖着一英里半
Flipping and flopping
摇摆不定
Sold him for a quarter
以25美分的价格卖给他
Shot craps got in jail
放浪形骸进了监狱
Early one morning I took me a notion
一天清晨我突然明白
To go out a Fishing in the middle of the ocean
去大海中央钓鱼
Throwed out my line I caught me a shark
我掏出枪来我抓到一条鲨鱼
I didn't get him home 'til way past dark
直到天黑我才把他送回家
He's man eater tough customer
他是个贪得无厌的家伙
Just wasn't quite tough enough
只是不够强悍
Last last night I had me a dream
昨晚我做了一个梦
I was out Fishing in a whiskey stream
我外出在威士忌小溪里钓鱼
Baited my hook with apple jack
我的鱼钩上镶满了钻石
Threw out a drink ** a gallon back
我酣快畅饮尽情放纵
Done pretty good till the creek run dry
干得不错直到小溪干涸
I give the fish back to the finance company
我把鱼还给财务公司
