Ballad of Cable Hogue

Lyrics

[Joey Burns] 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 [Marianne Dissard] L'amour passait, l'amour obsol�te Pourquoi perdre sa vie � chercher l'or d'un coeur? Je ne me noierai pas dans ce d�sert mystique Je ferme mes comptes et je repars [Joey Burns] Do me a favor while I'm hanging here Take this gold and go and hide [Marianne Dissard] Ne gigote pas, ch�ri, sur ta corde pendu [Joey Burns] Don't worry I'll be free in no time [Intermezzo] [Joey Burns] She promised me she would be there when I'd return She didn't say she'd have an army there as well She whispered: [Marianne Dissard] Je t'aime baby [Joey Burns] As she fired that gun at me [Marianne Dissard] Mais je n'ai plus beaucoup de temps [Joey Burns] I should've stayed way out yonder Better off with the scorpions and snakes [Marianne Dissard] Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end [Joey Burns] Guess I'm a little late this time Cause her love would be the death of mine Mine, all mine
