Lyrics and translation Jimmie Rodgers - High Powered Mama
Talk
about
blues
the
mean
ol'
blues
Parle-moi
du
blues,
ce
blues
méchant
We
all
have
the
blues
sometimes
On
a
tous
le
blues
parfois
But
the
meanest
blues
I've
ever
had
Mais
le
blues
le
plus
méchant
que
j'ai
jamais
eu
Is
about
that
gal
of
mine
C'est
à
cause
de
cette
fille
à
moi
A
marriage
license
and
a
wedding
ring
Un
permis
de
mariage
et
une
alliance
To
that
pretty
mama
don't
mean
a
thing
Pour
cette
jolie
maman
ne
veut
rien
dire
When
the
stars
step
in
it
ain't
no
use
Quand
les
étoiles
se
mettent
en
place,
ça
ne
sert
à
rien
Cause
the
trifling
mamas
got
a
good
excuse
Parce
que
les
mamans
frivoles
ont
une
bonne
excuse

Get
yourself
in
gear
Mets-toi
en
marche
For
the
way
you've
been
stepping
out
Pour
la
façon
dont
tu
as
été
en
train
de
sortir
It
won't
work
here
Ça
ne
marchera
pas
ici
I
was
a
good
man
J'étais
un
bon
homme
And
you
had
a
good
home
Et
tu
avais
un
bon
foyer
But
you
just
couldn't
leave
Mais
tu
ne
pouvais
pas
laisser
Other
daddies
alone
Les
autres
papas
tranquilles
I'm
going
to
leave
you
now
Je
vais
te
laisser
maintenant
And
you
going
to
miss
your
daddy
Et
tu
vas
manquer
à
ton
papa
And
miss
him
how
Et
tu
vas
le
manquer

I
bought
you
a
home
and
give
you
a
car
Je
t'ai
acheté
une
maison
et
je
t'ai
donné
une
voiture
And
half
of
the
time
Et
la
moitié
du
temps
I
don't
know
where
you
are
Je
ne
sais
pas
où
tu
es
When
I
was
a
brakeman
Quand
j'étais
freineur
Riding
on
the
rail
En
train
de
rouler
sur
les
rails
You
had
another

Tu
avais

In
