Coward Of The County

Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
Now it dont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope your old enough to understand:
Son, you dont have to fight to be a man.

Promise Me Son....
"Ka fapa, ka thil lo tih thin angte rawn ti ve hauh lo tur in min tiam la, buaina reng reng pumpelh tum tlat la. Buaina pumpelh i tum vang khan i dawihzep tihna a ni lo ania.

Hringnun khawvel a Tommy-a kawng bumboh tak chu i lo thilr sak dawn teh ang le...

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
Everyone considered him
They were reading Tommy wrong
Now he was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
I looked after tommy cause he was my brothers son.
I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy:
Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun.

Tommy: A nu duh tak chuan duat takin a hmingah Tommy tih chu a phuah sak ve ngei alawm mahse mi zawng zawng in mi dawihzep 'YELLOW' an ti, a hunlai chuan a aia zahthlak a awm chuang lo. Mi hmuhsit leh nuihzat ani, mahse pawi a ti therte lo. Mi dawizep ni a an sawi thin chu a diklo a ni tih a hranpa a lantir pawh a tum chuang hek lo. A patea pawh hian an en vang vang hian mi in mi dawihzep anga Tommy-a an sawi a, chhaih nawmnah nan a an hmang thin chu an hresual deuh chuan a hre ve deuh thin reng a... A pa hnukchattur thu chah a zawm ve a ni miau mai a. A pa in jail a a thihsan lai chuan kum 10 mi lek ala ni a, mahni a han in enkawl rual a la ni lo. A patea'n a enkawla, a unaupa fapa mal neihchhun liau liau chu enkawl tu tur dang an awm chuanglo, belh tur dang a nei chuang lo a ni.

Chu naupang kum 10 mi lek, a pa in a thih san chuan a patea lo chu chi leh kuang dang reng reng a nei lo. Mahse thing delh loh-lungdelh loh nafam chu a lo seilian ve zel a. Tlangval fel tak nun nem tak ni in a patea hnathawk chu a pui ve thin a. A tul tul a thawk ve bawrh bawrh thin a. Hetih hun lai hian ‘Wild West’ chu nun a hahthlak hle mai a, a rorum rum dinchanna khawvel a ni tawp mai a. Ani erawh zawng intihbuai, inlak rorum tihvel chuan a nun a khawih buai ve pha lo. A patea hna tha takin a thawk a, a hunawlah bar ah te a kal ve zeuh zeuh a. An khaw mi te chuan mi dawihzep, tuai ang deuhthaw in an en a, engahmah an ngai lo. Mahse pawi a ti chuang lo.

Theres someone for evryone and Tommys love was Becky.
In her arms he didnt have to prove he was a man.
One day while he was workin the gatlin boys camecallin.
They took turns at Becky.... there were three of them!

Becky: Mahse khuanu remruatah hian tupawh, eng mi pawh hi an kawppui tur tawk chu an lo awm ve zel mai. Ani mi zawng zawng hmuhsit tan pawh Becky chu a lo awm ve tlat mai le. An khua a tleirawl hmeltha leh harhvangtak mai Becky chuan ani chu mi tha tak a ni tih hria in mi ten an nuihzat vang mai mai chuan a iai phah reng reng lo. A tan chuan Tommy-a chuan rorum taka mipa anihna fiah kher angai lo, silai fual tak a pai a, rang taka phawi a, atul hun a mi kah thal tawp a, a tul huna mi va sawisak hrep te ti ve lo mahse atan chuan chu tlangval nunnem tak taima tak mai dam diai mai chu mipa diktak ani tlat mai le... mahse, khuanu remruatah hian hmangaihna kawng hi a tluangpurh reng fo lo tlat.

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin.
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
He reached above the fire place and took down his daddys picture.
As the tears fell on his daddys face, I heard these words again:

The Gatlin Boys: An khuaah chuan misual awm tha duhlo Jimmy Joe Gatlin-a leh a ho te 'Gatlin Boys' an tih ho, rawva tak tak Becky lo hmutai em em tu, a parmawina thliah sak chak tak tak an kat ve nuk mai le. Zu an han ruih phei chuan an pawr thei nasa mai, pawisak an nei lo. Chu an pawisak neihlohna chuan a vawrtawp a thleng ta, pathum lai an la ni zui...

Gatlin Boys ho zu in na thin bar chu a pan ta... Zam hmel reng a pu lo….

The gatlin boys just laughed at him, when he walked into the barroom.
One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor.
When Tommy turned around they said, hey look! ol yellow's leavin.
But you could a heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him.
He wasnt holdin nothin back; he let em have it all.
When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin.
He said, this ones for Becky, as he watched the last one fall.
And I heard him say,
I promised you, dad, not to do the things you've done.
I'll walk away from trouble when I can.
Now please dont think Im weak, I didnt turn the other cheek,
Papa, I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when youre a man.

Not A Gatlin Boy Was Standing: Bar kawngkhar a in then hawng thuai, chumi tum a rawn lut chu nidanga Tommy a YELLOW an tih mai thin kha a ni tawh reng reng lo.
