He was what? he was abnoxicated

he was what? well he was just plain drunk
他怎么了?好吧,他也只是单纯醉了而已
Well alright then
那好吧,随他去
He was sure salty with the bartender
他肯定被酒保戏耍过,心情糟糕
The bartender's tryin to make him by another drink
酒保怂恿着他一杯接着一杯喝
Zeke told the bartender
老齐克告诉那酒保
There ain't no need of me buyin no drinks“
别人都在买醉
When everyone else is buyin them
可我不需要
I'm goin to drink to everybody's health till I ruin my own

Why don't he know who he's throwin outta that joint
为什么他会不晓得他把大麻扔给了谁
Why I'll go back in that joint and take a short stick

And bust it down to the ground
拿根短棍把他掀倒在地

But I hate to be caught out on the street like this
我讨厌就这样在大街上被抓
'cause it makes you looks so common
因为这会让你看起来像是同伙
And I know I ain't common
我知道我不一样
Cause I got class I ain't never used yet
因为我寻衅滋事…噢老天我以前从没这么做过
But I guess I better get on in the house
我想我最好进屋去
Cause I don't want my pastor to catch me out like this
因为我真不想我的牧师看到我现在这副摸样
Hey Richard Open the door
嘿理查,快把门打开!
Now look at that old woman across the street
瞧瞧,现在那老妇人正穿街而过
Done stuck her head outta the window callin her sister
把头伸出窗外喊她姐姐
Look at her, hunchin' her sister sayin, "ain't that him, ain't that him?"
瞧瞧她们,她们说着“这该不是他吧这该不是他吧?”
Yes it's me and I'm drunk again
哈,是我没错耶我又喝多啦!
Open the door richard
开门啊,理查
I know he's in there cause I got on the clause.
我知道他在那儿,因为我遵守了条款
they can't throw him out cause I owe just as
他们不能将他轰出去
Much back rent as he does
因为我欠他的租金与他欠的一样多
Imagine that old woman chargin us
想象一下,那老妇人每月收我们三美元却能将我们折磨疯
Three dollars a month and gettin mad cause we 12 months in the arears
因为我们要在这儿待上该死的十二个月
Come meetin me last thursday sayin
上周四来找我时她们说
'Ain't you boys goin to give me some back rent“
为什么你儿子不替你付了租金?”
I told her she'd be lucky if she got some front rent
我告诉她她能拿到些预付金就很不错了
