Aku tua Tom Moore dari pantai gelandangan di hari emas tua yang indah itu
They call me a bummer and a ginsot too, but what cares I for praise?
Mereka memanggil saya gelandangan dan ginsot juga, tapi apa yang saya sayangi?
I wander around from town to town just like a roving sign
Aku berkeliaran dari kota ke kota seperti tanda keliling
And all the people say, “There goes Tom Moore, in the days of '49”
Dan semua orang mengatakan, “Ada Tom Moore, di hari-hari ’49”
In the days of old, in the days of gold
Pada zaman dahulu, di zaman emas
How often times I repine for the days of old
Betapa sering kali saya repine untuk hari-hari tua
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49
Saat kita menggali emas, pada hari-hari ’49
My comrades they all loved me well, a jolly saucy crew
Teman-temanku mereka semua mencintaiku dengan baik, kru ceria
A few hard cases I will recall though they all were brave and true
Beberapa kasus sulit saya ingat meskipun mereka semua berani dan benar
Whatever the pitch they never would flinch, they never would fret or whine
Apapun nada yang tidak akan pernah mereka hancurkan, mereka tidak akan pernah resah atau merengek
Like good old bricks they stood the kicks in the days of '49
Seperti batu bata tua yang bagus, mereka menorehkan tendangan di hari-hari ’49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
Pada zaman dahulu, di zaman emas
How oft'times I repine for the days of old
Bagaimana kabarmu aku repine untuk hari-hari tua
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49
Saat kita menggali emas, pada hari-hari ’49
There was New York Jake, the butcher's boy, he was always getting tight
Ada Jake New York, anak tukang daging, dia selalu merasa ketat
And every time that he'd get full he was spoiling for a fight
Dan setiap kali dia merasa kenyang, dia memanjakan diri untuk bertengkar
But Jake rampaged against a knife in the hands of old Bob Stein
Tapi Jake mengamuk melawan pisau di tangan Bob Stein tua
And over Jake they held a wake in the days of '49
Dan di atas Jake mereka mengadakan wake pada hari-hari ’49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
Pada zaman dahulu, di zaman emas
How often times I repine for the days of old
Betapa sering kali saya repine untuk hari-hari tua
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49
Saat kita menggali emas, pada hari-hari ’49
There was Poker Bill, one of the boys who was always in a game
Ada Poker Bill, salah satu anak laki-laki yang selalu bermain
Whether he lost or whether he won, to him it was always the same
Entah dia kalah atau apakah dia menang, baginya itu selalu sama
He would ante up and draw his cards and he would you go a hatful blind
Dia akan ante dan menarik kartunya dan dia akan menjadi buta yang penuh perhatian
In the game with death Bill lost his breath, in the days of '49
Dalam permainan dengan kematian, Bill kehilangan napasnya, di hari-hari ’49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
Pada zaman dahulu, di zaman emas
In the day of times I repine in the days of old
Pada hari-hari saya menangis pada zaman dahulu kala
In the days of gold, those were days of '49
Pada hari-hari emas, itu adalah hari-hari ’49
There was Ragshag Bill from Buffalo, I never will forget
Ada Ragshag Bill dari Buffalo, saya tidak akan pernah lupa
He would roar all day and he'd roar all night and I guess he's roaring yet
Dia akan mengaum sepanjang hari dan dia mengaum sepanjang malam dan saya kira dia menderu
One day he fell in a prospect hole, in a roaring bad design
Suatu hari dia jatuh ke dalam lubang prospek, dengan desain yang menderu
And in that hole he roared out his soul, in the days of '49
Dan di lubang itu dia meraung jiwanya, di hari-hari ’49
In the days of old, in the days of gold
Pada zaman dahulu, di zaman emas
How oft'times I repine for the days of old
Bagaimana kabarmu aku repine untuk hari-hari tua
When we dug up the gold, in the days o
Saat kita menggali emas, di hari-hari o
