Joe lahir di New York City,
Son of Paul and Catherine
Anak Paul dan Catherine
Always down and always out,
Selalu turun dan selalu keluar,
But his 'morrows always seemed jus' fine
Tapi ‘moraknya selalu terasa baik-baik saja
There will be bigotry and
Akan ada kefanatikan dan
There will be open minds
Akan ada pikiran terbuka
There will be days of peace
Akan ada hari damai
You'll never have the time
Anda tidak akan pernah punya waktu
As long as you keep a straight face
Selama Anda tetap wajah lurus
I will be there when you die
Aku akan berada di sana saat kamu mati
I was born in east kentucky,
Saya lahir di timur kentucky,
Home of where the grass is dyed
Rumah tempat rumput dicelup
Always down and always out,
Selalu turun dan selalu keluar,
But my 'morrows always seemed just fine
Tapi perasaanku selalu baik-baik saja
There will be bigotry and
Akan ada kefanatikan dan
There will be open minds
Akan ada pikiran terbuka
There will be days of peace
Akan ada hari damai
You'll never have the time
Anda tidak akan pernah punya waktu
As long as you keep a straight face
Selama Anda tetap wajah lurus
I will be there when you die.
Aku akan berada di sana saat kamu mati
