Baik memotong melalui tebu istirahat, menggetarkan ambang
Thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the hill
Guntur yang membuat hujan saat bayangan berada di puncak bukit
Big light on the back street, hill to ever more
Lampu besar di jalan belakang, bukit lagi
Packing down the ladder with the hammer to the floor
Mengepak tangga dengan palu ke lantai
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, inilah Mariah Mariah Hitam Besar
Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen the big black Ford
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, saya melihat Ford hitam besar
Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame
Yah dia semua kotak pada dars merah belle
Hunted Black Johnny with a blind man's cane
Berburu Black Johnny dengan tongkat orang buta
A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind
Peluru kuning dengan lap di angin
An old blind tiger, got an old bell Jim
Harimau buta tua, mendapat lonceng tua Jim
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, inilah Mariah Mariah Hitam Besar
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, inilah Ford hitam besar
Sent to the skies on a Benny Jag Blue
Dikirim ke langit di Benny Jag Blue
Off to bed without his supper like a Linda brides do
Berangkat ke tempat tidur tanpa makan malamnya seperti pengantin wanita Linda
He got to do the story with the old widow Jones
Dia sempat menceritakannya dengan janda janda Jones
Got a wooden coat, this boy is never coming home
Punya jas kayu, anak ini tidak akan pernah pulang
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, inilah Mariah Mariah Hitam Besar
Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen that big black Ford
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, saya melihat Ford hitam besar itu
Cut through the canebrake, oh yeah
Potong melalui canebrake, oh yeah
Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame
Yah dia semua kotak pada dars merah belle
Flat Blue Johnny with a blind man's cane
Flat Blue Johnny dengan tongkat orang buta
A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind
Seratus peluru kuning mengibaskan lap di angin
An old blind tiger, on a bell you win
Harimau buta tua, di bel Anda menang
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, inilah Mariah Mariah Hitam Besar
Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford
Inilah Mariah Hitam Besar, inilah Ford hitam besar
