Steamboat Bill

Lyrics

Down the Mississippi came the Whippoorwill Commanded by her captain, Mr. Steamboat Bill. Billy gave his orders on the strict QT, He was trying to beat the record of the Robert E. Lee.

Chorus Steamboat Bill, steaming down the Mississippi. Steamboat Bill, a mighty man was he. Steamboat Bill, steaming down the Mississippi. Steamboat Bill, he was trying to beat the record of the Robert E. Lee!

"Open up the throttle, let the old smoke roll, Pour on the cargo, if you run out of coal. If you don't beat the record," Said Billy to his mate, "You'll be meeting Saint Peter at the Pearly Gate."

Repeat chorus

Up spoke the gambling man from Louisville, Trying to place a bet against the Whippoorwill. Billy flashed a roll that would choke a bear, As the explosion of the engine through them up in the air.

Repeat chorus

Said the gambling man, as they left the wreck, "I don't know where we're going, but we're neck-and-neck!" So, Billy said, "Here's what I'll do. I'll bet another thousand, I go higher than you!"

Repeat chorus

(Slowly) Now Missus Steamboat Billy was lying in bed, When she got the news that her hubby was dead. So she said to her children, "Now honey lambs, You're next pappa's going to be a railroad man!"

Repeat chorus

Casey Jones, steaming and a rolling. Casey Jones, a mighty man was he. Casey Jones, steaming and a rolling. Casey Jones, he was trying to beat the record of the B.M.T !

(But did he ever return, no he never returned. And his fate is still unlearned. He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned.)

中文歌词

沿着密西西比河而来的鞭穷根
由她的船长，汽船比尔先生指挥。
比利在严格保密下下达命令，
他试图打破罗伯特·E·李号的记录。

Chorus
汽船比尔，顺密西西比河而下。
汽船比尔，他是个伟岸的男人。
汽船比尔，顺密西西比河而下。
汽船比尔，他试图打破
罗伯特·E·李号的记录！

打开节流阀，让浓烟滚滚，
倾倒货物，如果你煤烧光了。
“如果你不打破纪录，”比利对他的伙伴说，
“你就会在天国大门遇见圣彼得。”

路易斯维尔的赌徒开口说道，

试图对惠普威尔下注。

比利炫耀了一卷钱，那足够噎死一头熊，

随着引擎的爆炸声，将他们抛向空中。

赌博者说，当他们离开残骸时，
“我不知道我们要去哪里，但我们并驾齐驱！”
于是，比利说，“这就是我将要做的。
我再赌一千，我会比你飞得更高！”

（慢慢地）

现在，斯蒂姆博特·比利的太太躺在床上，

当她听到她丈夫死了的消息。

所以她对她的孩子们说，“现在，亲爱的孩子们，

你们下一个爸爸将是一个铁路工人！”

凯西·琼斯，蒸汽腾腾地滚动。 凯西·琼斯，他是个伟岸的男人。 凯西·琼斯，蒸汽腾腾地滚动。 凯西·琼斯，他试图打破B.M.T的记录！

(但是他有没有回来，没有，他从未回来。 他的命运仍然未知。 他可能永远在波士顿的街道下骑行。 他就是那个从未回来的人。)
