The Ballad Of Cable Hogue – Calexico – letras

I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions rungot myself a little goldmine to bank onone day my heart sank when I saw Madame in townI knew her love would be the death of mineL’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 hidene gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue(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 returnshe didn’t say she’d have a army there as wellshe whispered, « J’taime Baby, » as she fired that gun at me.mais je n’ai plus de temps(It’s getting late and I’m running out of time)I should’ve stayed way out yonder better off with thescorpions and snakesEvery act which has no heart will be found out in the endYes I’m a little late this time,cause her love would be the death of mine,mine, all mine
