Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Follow the Deal on Down
Stop
rollin'
them
bones
and
listen
to
me
Arrête
de
faire
rouler
ces
os
et
écoute-moi
I
had
a
gamblin'
man
J'avais
un
homme
joueur
He's
hard
to
understand
Difficile
à
comprendre
He
just
give
me
worries
and
goin'
around
Il
ne
me
donne
que
des
soucis
et
il
se
promène
He
was
scheming
to
his
dice
Il
trichait
avec
ses
dés
Couldn't
give
him
no
advice
Je
ne
pouvais
pas
lui
donner
de
conseils
He
followed
the
deal
on
down
Il
a
suivi
le
pari
jusqu'en
bas
He
was
a
gambler
Il
était
un
joueur
I
mean
he
was
a
gambler
Je
veux
dire,
il
était
un
joueur
And
he'd
always
lay
his
money
down
Et
il
mettait
toujours
son
argent
If
he
win
or
if
he
lose
S'il
gagnait
ou
s'il
perdait
He
would
never
sing
the
blues
Il
ne
chanterait
jamais
le
blues
He
followed
the
deal
on
down
Il
a
suivi
le
pari
jusqu'en
bas
He
took
sick
the
other
day
Il
est
tombé
malade
l'autre
jour
And
his
bills
I
had
to
pay
Et
j'ai
dû
payer
ses
factures
None
of
his
good
friends
could
be
found
Aucun
de
ses
bons
amis
n'a
été
trouvé
Not
a
penny
to
his
name
Pas
un
sou
à
son
nom
Of
course,
he's
not
to
blame
Bien
sûr,
il
n'est
pas
à
blâmer
Lord,
he
followed
the
deal
on
down
Seigneur,
il
a
suivi
le
pari
jusqu'en
bas
He
was
a
gambler
Il
était
un
joueur
Yes,
he
was
a
gambler
Oui,
il
était
un
joueur
And
he
would
always
go
from
town
to
town
Et
il
allait
toujours
de
ville
en
ville
Gamblin'
life
he'd
crave
Il
aimait
la
vie
de
joueur
It
lays
a
poor
boy
in
his
grave
Elle
met
un
pauvre
garçon
dans
sa
tombe
He
followed
the
deal
on
down
Il
a
suivi
le
pari
jusqu'en
bas
