On a winter night in Webb County, Texas
On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
I was watching the jungle fires a-burnin'
Across the border of a not-so-distant land

And the echoes of the church bells that were swingin'
Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square
There was a girl down there in the south side of the river
She had feathers tied into her long black hair

And if I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow
Well I would float upon the southern skies of blue
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you

I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
I painted up my eyes and wore my beads
There was a band playing "To God Be the Glory"
There were people dancing all around the street

There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burning
And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands
And I swear‚ I heard those church bells ringing
'Cross the border of a not-so-distant land

Singing‚ if I was White-Crowned Sparrow
Well I would float upon the southern skies of blue
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you

If I was White-Crowned Sparrow
Well I would float upon the southern skies of blue
But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you

I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you
Wish I was rolling back‚ back to you
Wish I was rolling back to you
Wish I was rolling back to you

Terjemahan The Highwomen - Wheels of Laredo :

Pada malam musim dingin di Webb County, Texas
Di tepi utara Rio Grande yang perkasa
Aku menyaksikan kebakaran hutan yang membakar
Melintasi perbatasan tanah yang tidak terlalu jauh

Dan gema lonceng gereja yang berayun
Dapat didengar dari Guadalupe Market Square
Ada seorang gadis disana disisi selatan sungai
Dia memiliki bulu yang diikat ke rambut hitam panjangnya

Dan jika aku adalah aku adalah White-Crowned Sparrow
Yah saya akan melayang di langit biru selatan
Tapi aku terjebak di dalam roda Laredo
Berharap aku kembali padamu

Aku mengenakan jaket favoritku untuk Jamboozie
Aku melukis mata saya dan mengenakan manik-manik saya
Ada sebuah band bermain "To God Be the Glory"
Ada orang menari di sekitar jalan

Ada barel di trotoar yang terbakar
Dan seorang peramal membaca tangan orang
Dan aku bersumpah‚ aku mendengar lonceng gereja itu berdering
Seberangi perbatasan tanah yang tidak terlalu jauh

Bernyanyi‚ jika aku adalah White-Crowned Sparrow
Yah saya akan melayang di langit biru selatan
Tapi aku terjebak di dalam roda Laredo
Berharap aku kembali padamu

Jika aku adalah White-Crowned Sparrow
Yah aku akan melayang di langit biru selatan
Tapi aku terjebak di dalam roda Laredo
Berharap aku kembali padamu

Aku terjebak di dalam roda Laredo
Berharap aku kembali padamu
Seandainya aku memutar kembali ‚kembali padamu
Seandainya aku berguling kembali padamu
Seandainya aku berguling kembali padamu
