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 cœur? Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique Je ferme mes comptes et je repars 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 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 de temps) 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
