Lyrics 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 passé, l'amour obsolète
(Past love and obsolete love)
Pourquoi perdre sa vie à chercher l'or d'un coeur ?
(Why spending their whole lives searching for the gold of a heart ?)
Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique
(I will not drown myself in this mystic desert)
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars
(I'm cashing in my chips and I ride again)

Do me a favor while I'm hanging here
Take this gold and go and hide
Ne gigote pas, chéri, sur ta corde pendu
( Don't twist, honey, 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 "Je t'aime baby"
As she fired that gun at me
Mais je n'ai plus le temps
(But I have no time now)

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
