Ballad Of Cable Hogue

I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run

got myself a little goldmine to bank on

Dm Am

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 obete.

Pourquoi perdre sa vie a 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

Am

Take this gold and go and hide

ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue

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 army there as well

Dm Am

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

Am

better off with the scorpi-ons and snakes

Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end

Yes I'm a little late this time,

Am G F Mim

cause her love would be the death of mine,

Am

mine, all mine
