No no momma now devil don't do si do
Tidak, tidak, Mama, jangan sampai iblis melakukan ini
Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
Dua anak laki-laki tergeletak tak bernyawa di pinggir jalan
The coins in their eyes represent the money they owe
Koin di mata mereka melambangkan utang yang harus mereka bayar
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told
Tidak ada hakim atau juri yang akan mendengar cerita ini

Down by the bayou
Di tepi bayou

Louisiana bayou
Bayou Louisiana

Sweet girl daddy done beat that girl like he's insane
Gadis manis itu, ayahnya memukulinya seolah dia gila
Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again
Saudaranya tak bisa melihat dia memukuli gadis itu lagi
So late one night cookin' up with a couple of friends
Suatu malam yang larut, masak bersama beberapa teman
Swears his daddy never gonna see another day
Bersumpah ayahnya tidak akan melihat hari lain lagi

Down by the bayou
Di tepi bayou

No, no, Mama, the Devil done do-si-do
Tidak, tidak, Mama, iblis sudah beraksi
see 2 young boys lined up on the side of the road
melihat dua anak laki-laki tergeletak di pinggir jalan
Shame shame
Sungguh memalukan

Oh it's a shame to lose your way running wild
Oh, sungguh memalukan kehilangan arah saat liar
It's a shame to lose the light that shines (shame shame)
Sungguh memalukan kehilangan cahaya yang bersinar (sungguh memalukan)
Oh it's a shame to lose your way as a child
Oh, sungguh memalukan kehilangan arah saat masih anak-anak
Oh it's a shame to lose your...
Oh, sungguh memalukan kehilangan...

Money on the bed but you ain't got to go
Uang di atas tempat tidur tapi kamu tidak perlu pergi
Sold your soul just trying to get over low
Menjual jiwamu hanya untuk mencoba mengatasi kesulitan
No empty pocket gonna keep you from getting yours
Tak ada kantong kosong yang akan menghalangimu untuk mendapatkan milikmu
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told
Tidak ada hakim atau juri yang akan mendengar cerita ini
