out
of

Cette

If

besoin
de
traîner,
Dieu,

Tu
n'as

traîner
'Cause
I
can
get
more
women

Qu'un
train

Just
to

her
jump
and
fall
Juste
pour
la
voir
sauter
et
tomber
Yodelaeeeo...
Yodelaeeeo...
I'm
going
where
the
water
drinks
like
cherry
wine
Je

là
où
l'eau
se
boit
comme
du
vin
de
cerise

where
the
water
drinks

wine
Je

là
où
l'eau
se
boit
comme
du
vin
de
cerise
'Cause
the
Georgia
water
tastes
like
terpentine
Parce
que
l'eau
de
Géorgie
a
le
goût
de
la
térébenthine
I'm
gonna
buy
me
a
shotgun
with
a
big
long
shiny
barrel
Je
vais
m'acheter
un
fusil
de
chasse
avec
un
long
canon
brillant

I'm
gonna
that
round
dog
that
stole
away
my
gal
Je
vais
tirer
sur
ce
chien
rond
qui
m'a
volé
ma
fille
Yodelaeeeo...
Yodelaeeeo...
Rather
drink
muddy
water,
sleep
in

boueuse,
dormir
dans
un
rondin
creux

to
be
in
Atlanta
treated
like
a
dirty
dog

d'être
à
Atlanta
traité
comme
un
chien
sale
Yodelaeeeo...
