Ballad Of Cable Hogue
I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions rungot myself a little goldmine to bank onbut one day my heart sank when I saw Madame in townI knew her love would be the death of mine
(L'amour passait, l'amour obsolète.Pourquoi perdre sa vie à chercher l'or d'un coeur?Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique.Je ferme mes comptes et je repars.)
Love is passe and love is obsoletesome spend their whole lives searching for a heart of goldI'm tired of treading water in this desert mystiqueI'm cashing in my chips before I ride
Do me a favor while I'm hanging hereTake this gold and go and hideDon't twist too hard darlin' on your hangin' rope(ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue)Don't worry I'll be free in no time.
She promised me she would be there when I'd returnshe didn't say she'd have a whole army there as wellshe whispered, "J'taime Baby," as she fired that gun at me.It's getting late and I'm running out of time
I should've stayed way out yonder better off with the scorpions and snakesEvery act which has no heart will be found out in the endI'm a little late this time, cause her lovewould be the death of mine, mine, all mine
