美国电影大师科恩兄弟去年推出新片The ballad of Buster Scruggs,这是一部由五个小故事串成的西部片,让人看得非常过瘾。其中的这首SurlyJoe(暴脾气乔)活灵活现地展示了美国乡村民谣的精华。

Surly Joe, the gambler

He will gamble never moreHis days of stud and hold ‘em

They are doneIt was long about last April

He stepped into this saloonBut he never really took to anyone

Surly Joe (Surly Joe) Surly Joe (Surly Joe)

Oh, wherever he's gambling now, I don't know (We don't know)

He was slick, but I was slicker, He drew quick, but I was quicker

And the table stopped his ticker Surly Joe Yee-haw!

Surly Joe (Surly Joe) Surly Joe (Surly Joe)

Won't be missed by anyone will Surly Joe (Surly Joe)

Humankind he frowned upon,

But not now, his face is goneGuess your frowning days are done Oh, Surly Joe Yee-haw!

Surly Joe (Surly Joe) Surly Joe (Surly Joe)

A cedilla on the C of Curly Joe (Surly Joe!)

He was mean in days of yore

Now they're mopping up the floor

One more sight to make him sore, Oh, Surly Joe Yee-haw!

Surly Joe (Surly Joe) Surly Joe (Surly Joe)

Where the rest of his face has got to, we don't know (We don't know)

He was never any fun,

Now his grumpy race has runKisser blown to kingdom come, Oh, Surly Joe…
