Everyone considered him the coward of the county
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy, 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
"Son my life is over, but yours has just begun".
CHORUS:
Rogers Kenny
"Promise me son not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man".
There's someone for everyone, and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
They took turns at Becky (there was three of them).
Tommy opened up the door, and saw Becky crying
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace, and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard this words again.
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room
One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor
When Tommy turned around they said "Hey look old yellow's leaving"
But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him
He would hold nothing back --he let'em have it all
When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing
He said this ones for Becky, as he watched the last one fall
(now hear him say)
"I promised you dad not to do the things you've done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek
And papa I should hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man".
Everyone considered him the coward of the county.

Coward of the County--- Kenny Rogers         小镇懦夫---肯尼 罗杰斯
所有的人都叫他小镇懦夫
    镇里人说得不错，他每次都是如此   
     他母亲叫他托米，镇里人却叫他胆小鬼
   但我始终明白，他们都不了解托米
   他父亲死在监狱里的时候，他只有十岁
我是他的叔叔，所以他由我来抚养
   我始终不会忘记他父亲的临终之言：
   “儿子，我的气数将尽，但你的生活刚刚开始，
  儿子，请向我保证不要做我做过的事
  尽量远离麻烦
  打你的左脸你伸右脸，那不代表你的软弱
  我希望你快点长大，你就会理解这些话
   孩子，要成为男子汉，你并不需要打斗来证明”  
每个人都有自己的心上人，托米的爱人是贝琦
在她温暖的怀中，他不必证明自己是男子汉
某天，托米正忙着干活
几个赌棍叫嚣着近来
  他们侮辱了贝琦，他们来者不善一共三个  
  托米打开了门，看到他的贝琦在哭泣
  撕破的衣裳，惊恐的表情一切都让他无法忍受
  他的手伸向壁炉上方，取下他父亲的照片
  他的眼泪掉在父亲的脸上，父亲的话又萦绕在耳边：
“儿子，请向我保证不要做我做过的事， 尽量远离麻烦，   
打你的左脸你伸右脸，那不代表你的软弱，
我希望你快点长大，你就会理解这些话，
孩子，要成为男子汉，你并不需要打斗”
当托米走进酒吧时，那群赌棍纷纷嘲笑他，
其中一个站起来挡住了托米的去路
  当托米转身避开他时，他们挑衅道：
“嘿！快看啊！胆小鬼逃跑了。”
  但当托米停下来关上门时，
  酒吧里一片死寂
  二十年的屈辱生活，他已无法忍受     
   他的怒气一发不可收，让他们尝尽苦头
   托米离开酒吧时，没有一个坏小子能站着
   他说这是为了贝琦
    当最后一个家伙倒地，我听见他说：
“父亲，我向您保证不做您做过的事，

   我已尽我所能远离是是非非，  
   这次我并未忍让，
   请您别认为我软弱，父亲，我也希望您了解
  有时做为男子汉，你必须去打一架
所有人都叫他----     小镇懦夫
