Ballad Of Cable Hogue Tab

by Calexico





Couplets

				   			     
I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run

			     
got myself a little goldmine to bank on

 			          
one day my heart sank when I saw Madame in town

                			
I knew her love would be the death of mine


L'amour passé, l'amour obGète.
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.

Refrain

			     
Do me a Favor while I'm hanging here

				 
Take this gold and go and hide

			     	    
ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue

	    	  		
cn't worry I'll be free in no time.


Jouer un couplet sans chanter

Couplet 3

				 			  
She promised me she would be there when I'd return

 				   
she didn't say she'd have a army there as well

						
she whispered, "J'taime Baby," as she fired that gun at me.

    		   
mais je n'ai plus de temps


Refrain

   				  
I should've stayed way out yonder

	              		     
better off with the scorpi-ons and snakes

								   
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end

    	  	  
Yes I'm a little late this time,

	         		     Mim
cause her love would be the death of mine,

	    
mine, all mine
