Lyrics:
With marianne dissardI live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions runGot myself a little goldmine to bank onBut one day my heart sank when I saw madame in townI knew her love would be the death of mineL'amour passait, l'amour obsolètePourquoi perdre sa vie à chercher l'or d'un coeur?Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystiqueJe ferme mes comptes et je reparsLove is passé and love is obsoleteSome spend their whole lives searching for a heart of goldI'm tired of treading water in this desert mystiqueI'm cashing in my chips before I rideDo me a favor while I'm hanging hereTake this gold and go and hideNe gigote pas, chéri, sur ta corde pendu(don't twist too hard darlin' on your hangin' rope)Don't worry I'll be free in no timeShe promised me she would be there when I'd returnShe didn't say she'd have a whole army there as wellShe 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 yonderBetter off with the scorpions and snakesEvery act which has no heart will be found out in the endGuess I'm a little late this timeCause her love would be the death of mine
