英文歌词：

This old guitar and me
And the things that we've been through
C.F. Martin built him
Back in nineteen fourty-two
I remember when we met
I was only seventeen
I spent all my college money
On a half a dozen strings
I thought my folks would kill me
I found out I was wrong
They said your future's written on your face
When you sing those travelin' songs
So we headed for Kentucky
With a suitcase full of dreams
My rough-out books, a few t-shirts
A worn out pair of jeans

This old guitar and me
We spent a lot of nights alone
Well, sometimes we'd get lucky
And take bar maid home
One night stands for breakfast
Two strangers with the blues
We'd wake up in the morning
And both feel a little used

Well, home was just a highway
We'd roam from town to town
Just me and that old flattop
Not caring where we're bound
>From Maine to California
With a five piece travelin' band
Singin' songs about the hard times
That face the common man

This old guitar and me
Lord, we did the best we could
One was born a sinner
And one a piece of wood
God sent a wooden angel
To guide me on my way
We were meant to be together
Until my dyin' day

Well, now my dearest old companion
Lies underneath my bed
Well, our travelin' days are over
Man, but the memories fill my head
Well, I've settled with my family
Here in the hills of Tennessee
To teach my children's children
'Bout this old guitar and me

中文歌词：

这把老吉他和我
我们曾共度过漫长岁月
C·F马丁制造了它
那是在1942年
我还记得初次见到它时
那年我才17岁
我花光了所有的学费
买了这把六弦乐器
当时我以为爸妈会杀了我
但最后我发觉预计错了
他们说：
当你吟唱起那些羁旅之歌时
脸上的表情昭示着你的未来
于是我们全家搬去了肯塔基
带着一个装满梦想的旅行箱
还有几本破书、几件T恤
和穿旧了的牛仔裤

这把老吉他和我
我们曾共度过孤寂的长夜
有时我们也会沾上好运
能带着酒吧女郎回家
一夜激情过后共进早餐
2个沉浸在忧郁中的陌生人
当我们早晨醒来后
都感觉彼此有些熟悉

家就是一条大道
我们从这方流浪到那方
我带着那把老吉他
没人在意我们去向何方
从缅因到加利福尼亚
和一支5人的流浪乐队一起
对那些普通的人们
唱起那些艰难时世的歌谣

这把老吉他和我
老天，我们的确已经尽力
一个曾是无知少年
一个曾是块木头
老天给我送来这个木质的天使
指引着我前进的道路
我们早就注定要在一起
直到我离开人世的这一天

如今，我最亲爱的老伙计
它正躺在我的床下
我们的旅程已经结束
但是我的脑海中仍然装满回忆
我和家庭已经安顿了下来
如今在这田纳西的群山之间
我正和孙儿们说着
这把老吉他和我的故事
