Calexico - The Ballad Of Cable Hogue lyrics

I live out yonder where the snakes & scorpions run
got myself a little goldmine to bank on
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.

(Love´s passe & love´s obsolete
some spend their whole lives searching for a heart of gold
I am tired of treading water in this desert mystique
I am cashing in my chips before I ride)

Do me a favor while I am hanging here
Take this gold & go & hide
ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue
(Don´t twist too hard darlin´ on your hangin´ rope)
Don´t worry I will be free in no time.

She promised me she´d be there when I would return
she didn´t say she would´ve a army there as well
she whispered, "J´taime Baby," as she fired that gun at me.
mais je n´ai plus de temps
(It is getting late & I am running out of time)

I should have stayed way out yonder better off with the
scorpions & snakes
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
Yes I am a little late this time,
cause her love would be the death of mine,
mine, all mine
