Ballad Of Cable Hogue Lyrics - Singles - Calexico

(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 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love is passé and love is obsolete 

some spend their whole lives searching for a heart of gold 

i'm tired of treading water in this desert mystique 

i'm cashing in my chips before i ride 

do me a favor while i'm hanging here 

take this gold and go and hide 

(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 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 

(it's getting late and i'm running out of time) 

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.
