Couplets
Am G Am
I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
Am G
got myself a little goldmine to bank on
Dm Am
one day my heart sank when I saw Madame in town
Am G F Am
I knew her love would be the death of mine
L'amour passé, l'amour obGète.
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.
Refrain
c G
Do me a Favor while I'm hanging here
c Am
Take this gold and go and hide
Am G Am
ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue

Am G F Am
cn't worry I'll be free in no time.
Jouer un couplet sans chanter
Couplet 3
Am G Am
She promised me she would be there when I'd return
Am G
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.
Am G F Am
mais je n'ai plus de temps
Refrain
c G
I should've stayed way out yonder
c Am
better off with the scorpi-ons and snakes
Am G Am
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
Am G F Am
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
