Tombstone Blues (Take 9)
Tombstone Blues (Prise 9)
The
sweet
pretty
things
are
in
bed
now,
of
course
Les
jolies
choses
douces
sont
au
lit
maintenant,
bien
sûr
The
city
fathers,
they
are
trying
to
endorse
Les
pères
de
la
ville,
ils
essaient
d'approuver
The
reincarnation
of
Paul
Revere's
horse
La
réincarnation
du
cheval
de
Paul
Revere
But
the
town
has
no
need
to
be
nervous
Mais
la
ville
n'a
pas
besoin
d'être
nerveuse
The
ghost
of
Belle
Starr,
she
hands
down
her
wits
Le
fantôme
de
Belle
Starr,
elle
transmet
ses
esprits
To
Jezebel
the
nun,
she
violently
knits
À
Jézabel
la
religieuse,
elle
tricote
violemment
A
bald
wig
for
Jack
the
Ripper,
who
sits
Une
perruque
chauve
pour
Jack
l'Éventreur,
qui
siège
At
the
head
of
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
À
la
tête
de
la
Chambre
de
commerce
Mama's
in
the
factory,
she
ain't
got
no
shoes
Maman
est
à
l'usine,
elle
n'a
pas
de
chaussures
Daddy's
in
the
alley,
he's
lookin'
for
food
Papa
est
dans
l'allée,
il
cherche
de

I'm
in
the
kitchen
with
the
tombstone
blues
Je
suis
dans
la
cuisine
avec
le
blues
de
la
pierre
tombale
The
hysterical
bride
in
the
penny
arcade
La
mariée
hystérique
dans
le
flipper
Screaming,
she
moans,
"I've
just
been
made"
En
criant,
elle
gémit,
"Je
viens
d'être
faite"
Sends
out
for
the
doctor,
who
pulls
down
the
shade
Envoie
chercher
le
médecin,
qui
baisse
le
store
And
says,
"My
advice
is
to
not
let
the
boys
in"
Et
dit,
"Mon
conseil
est
de
ne
pas
laisser
les
garçons
entrer"
And
the
medicine
man
comes
and
he
shuffles
inside
Et
le
médecin
arrive
et
il
se
faufile
à
l'intérieur
He
walks
with
a
swagger
and
he
says
to
the
bride
Il
marche
avec
une
arrogance
et
il
dit
à
la
mariée
"Stop
all
this
weeping,
swallow
your
pride
«Arrête
de
pleurer,
avale
ton
orgueil
You
will
not
die,
it's
not
poison"
Tu
ne
mourras
pas,
ce
n'est
pas
du
poison»

I'm

Je
suis

Now,
John
the
blacksmitht,
he
torturing
a
thief
Maintenant,
Jean
le
forgeron,
il
torture
un
voleur
Says
to
the
hero,
the
Commander-in-chief
Dit
au
héros,
le
commandant
en
chef
"Tell
me,
great
hero,
but
please
make
it
brief
«Dis-moi,
grand
héros,
mais
s'il
te
plaît,
fais
bref
Is
there
a
hole
for
me
to
get
sick
in?"
Y
a-t-il
un
trou
pour
que
je
puisse
tomber
malade
?»
The
Commander-in-chief
answers
him
while
chasing
a
fly
Le
commandant
en
chef
lui
répond
en
chassant
une
mouche
Saying,
"Death
to
all
those
who
have
whimper
and
cry"
En
disant
: «Mort
à
tous
ceux
qui
ont
gémi
et
pleuré»
And,
dropping
a
barbell,
he
points
to
the
sky
Et,
en
lâchant
une
barre
d'haltères,
il
pointe
vers
le
ciel
Saying,
"The
sun's
not
yellow,
it's
chicken"
En
disant
: «Le
soleil
n'est
pas
jaune,
c'est
du
poulet»
