Oxford Town
牛津镇
Oxford Town, Oxford Town
牛津镇，牛津镇，
Ev'rybody's got their heads bowed down
人人都将头颅低下，
The sun don't shine above the ground
阳光无法照进来，
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford Town
无法照进牛津镇。

He went down to Oxford Town
他走进了牛津镇，
Guns and clubs followed him down
棍棒、手枪身后跟，
All because his face was brown
只因他的肤色深，
Better get away from Oxford Town
最好离开牛津镇。

Oxford Town around the bend
牛津镇发了疯，
He come in to the door, he couldn't get in
他走到门前，却进不去，
All because of the color of his skin
全因他是黑色脸孔，
What do you think about that, my frien'?
对此有何见解，我的朋友？

Me and my gal, my gal's son
我和我的姑娘，还有我姑娘的儿子，
We got met with a tear gas bomb
一颗催泪瓦斯击中了我们，
I don't even know why we come
何苦我们来到这里，
Goin' back where we come from
我们最好还是回去。

Oxford Town in the afternoon
午后牛津镇里，
Ev'rybody singin' a sorrowful tune
人人唱着伤痛的歌曲，
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
密西西比的月色下死了两人，
Somebody better investigate soon
是不是得有人调查去。

Oxford Town, Oxford Town
牛津镇，牛津镇，
Ev'rybody's got their heads bowed down
人人都将头颅低下，
The sun don't shine above the ground
阳光无法照进来，
Ain't a-goin' down to Oxford Town
无法照进牛津镇。
