Ballad of Cable Hogue |
| I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run |
| Got myself a little goldmine to bank on |
| But one day my heart sank when i saw madame in town |
| I 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| Love is passé and love is obsolete |
| Some spend their whole lives searching for a heart of gold |
| I’m tired of treading water in this desert mystique |
| I’m cashing in my chips before i ride |
| Do me a favor while i’m hanging here |
| Take this gold and go and hide |
| (don't twist too hard darlin' on your hangin' rope) |
| Don’t worry i’ll be free in no time |
| She promised me she would be there when i’d return |
| She didn’t say she’d have a whole army there as well |
| She 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 snakes |
| Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end |
| Guess i’m a little late this time |
| Cause her love would be the death of mine |
| Mine, all mine |
