PADUAN SUARA
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
Oh Paman Lijiah, Paman Lijiah
He’s still alive
Dia masih hidup
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
Oh Paman Lijiah, Paman Lijiah
A hundred and five
Seratus lima
There was a time early in life
Ada waktu di awal kehidupan
When he gambled to gain
Saat dia berjudi untuk meraihnya
And he carried a knife
Dan dia membawa sebuah pisau
And he was winnin’ that very night
Dan dia malam ini juga
He cussed the devil, yes he cussed him good
Dia memaki setan, ya dia memaki dia dengan baik
He swore he’d lick ’em
Dia bersumpah akan menjilatnya
Yes he swore he could
Ya dia bersumpah dia bisa
And he dared him to come to
Dan dia menantangnya untuk datang
Him if he would Yeah
Dia jika dia mau Yeah
CHORUS
PADUAN SUARA
It was early in the mornin’
Saat itu pagi-pagi sekali
When he got to bed
Saat dia tidur
To rest his weary gamblin’ head
Mengistirahatkan kepala penjudi yang lelah
When he heard the angry words
Saat dia mendengar kata-kata marah
His pappy said
Kata pappynya
“Lijiah go and fetch some wood!”
“Lijia pergi dan mengambil kayu!”
He heard his words
Dia mendengar kata-katanya
And up he stood
Dan dia berdiri
Even tho it hurt he knew he should
Bahkan sampai sakit rasanya dia tahu seharusnya
CHORUS
PADUAN SUARA
Outside he heard the rattle of chains
Di luar ia mendengar deru rantai
And he ran from someone
Dan dia lari dari seseorang
He thought insane
Dia pikir gila
As he heard the devil
Saat dia mendengar iblis
Callin’ out his name
Callin ‘keluar namanya
The devil grabbed his suspenders well
Iblis menyambar suspender-nya dengan baik
And he trembled
Dan dia gemetar
As he felt the hand from hell
Saat ia merasakan tangan dari neraka
And he let out with a hairy yell
Dan dia mengeluarkan teriakan berbulu
He jumped in bed with his
Dia melompat ke tempat tidur bersamanya
Maw and Paw
Maw dan Paw
And he told ’em that
Dan dia mengatakannya kepada mereka
The devil was in Arkansas
Iblis ada di Arkansas
And he told ’em he’d
Dan dia mengatakannya kepada mereka
Quit gamblin’
Keluar gamblin ‘
Or break the law
Atau melanggar hukum
