Lyrics for Ballad of Cable Hogue
(feat. Marianne Dissard) 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 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 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, "j'taime 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
