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 pass? l'amour obsol e
(Past love and obsolete love)
Pourquoi perdre sa vie ?chercher l'or d'un coeur ?
(Why spending their whole lives searching for the gold of a heart ?)
Je ne me noierai pas dans ce d ert mystique
(I will not drown myself in this mystic desert)
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars
(I'm cashing in my chips and I ride again)
Do me a favor while I'm hanging here
Take this gold and go and hide
Ne gigote pas, ch i, sur ta corde pendu
( Don't twist, honey, 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 'Je t'aime baby'
As she fired that gun at me
Mais je n'ai plus le temps
(But I have no time now)
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
