A young boy named Billy Joe, restless on the farm A young boy named Billy Joe, restless on the farm Um garoto chamado Billy Joe, inquieto na fazenda A boy filled with wanderlust, who never really meant no harm A boy filled with wanderlust, who never really meant no harm Um rapaz cheio, que nunca realmente significava nada He changed his clothes and he shined his boots He changed his clothes and he shined his boots Ele mudou suas roupas e lustrou suas botas And he combed his dark hair down And he combed his dark hair down E ele penteava seu cabelo escuro para baixo But his mama cried as he walked out: But his mama cried as he walked out: Mas sua mãe chorou quando ele saiu: 'Don't take your guns to town 'Don't take your guns to town "Não leve suas armas para a cidade Don't take your guns to town Don't take your guns to town Não leve suas armas para a cidade Don't take your guns... to town' Don't take your guns... to town' Não leve suas armas ... a cidade" He laughed and kissed his mom and said 'Your Billy Joe he's the man He laughed and kissed his mom and said 'Your Billy Joe he's the man Ele ri e beija sua mãe e diz:' Billy Joe ele é o homem I can shoot as quick, I can shoot as straight, as anybody, can I can shoot as quick, I can shoot as straight, as anybody, can Posso atirar rápido, mirar reto, como ninguém, eu posso But I wouldn't shoot, without a cause, or gun nobody down' But I wouldn't shoot, without a cause, or gun nobody down' Mas eu não iria disparar, sem uma causa' But she cried again as he rode away: But she cried again as he rode away: Mas ela chora novamente: 'Don't take your guns to town 'Don't take your guns to town "Não leve suas armas para a cidade Son, leave your guns at home Son, leave your guns at home Filho, deixe suas armas em casa Don't take your guns to town' Don't take your guns to town' Não leve suas armas para a cidade" Well he drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hands Well he drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hands Pois ele bebeu seu primeiro forte licor, em seguida, para acalmar a sua mão And he tried, he tried to tell himself at last he had become a man And he tried, he tried to tell himself at last he had become a man E ele tentou, ele tentou dizer, finalmente, ele tinha se tornado um homem But a dusty cowpoke stood at his side, began to laugh him down But a dusty cowpoke stood at his side, began to laugh him down Mas um empoeirado cowboy situava-se em seu lado, começou a rir And he heard again his mother's words: And he heard again his mother's words: E ele ouviu novamente as palavras de sua mãe: 'Don't take your guns to town 'Don't take your guns to town "Não leve suas armas para a cidade Son, leave your guns at home Son, leave your guns at home Filho, deixe suas armas em casa Don't take your guns...' Don't take your guns...' Não leve suas armas ... " Don't take your guns.... Don't take your guns.... Não leve suas armas ....
