I′m
a
guy
that
likes
his
fun
Je
suis
un
mec
qui
aime
s'amuser
And
when
I
fight,
you'd
better
run
Et
quand
je
me
bats,
tu
ferais
mieux
de
courir
I′m
a
mean,
mean,

son
of

gun
Je
suis
un

I'm
goin'
down
in
a
middle
of
town
Je
vais
descendre
au
milieu
de
la
ville
I′m
goin′

qui
se
trouve
sur
mon
chemin
I'm

My

I′m
as
tough
as
any
man
Ma
peau
est
chaude
comme
du
cuir,
je
suis
aussi
coriace
que
n'importe
quel
homme
When
I
have
to
shave
myself,
I
use
an
old
tin
can
Quand
je
dois
me
raser,
j'utilise
une
vieille
boîte
de
conserve
I
wash
my
face
in
boilin'

and
scrub
myself
with

le
visage
à
la
cire
bouillante
et
je
me
frotte
avec
des
sacs
de
jute

I
chew

Je
mâche
de

et
je
crache
des
clous
Sleep
on
snakes
with
ten-foot
tails
Je

sur
des
serpents
avec
des
queues
de
dix
pieds
I'm

Et
j'ai
dansé
l'autre
soir
I

good,
I
took
my
gun
and
shot
out
ev'ry
light
J'étais
tellement
bien
que
j'ai
pris
mon
arme
et
j'ai
tiré
sur
toutes
les
lumières
Now
the
Sheriff
said,
get
out
off

Maintenant,
le
shérif

la
ville"
Take

pieds
sous
terre
I′m

I
throwed
my
saddle
on
a
grizzly
bear
J'ai
mis
ma
selle
sur
un
ours
grizzly
Then
I
crawled
bare-handed
in
his
mountain
lair
Puis
je
me
suis
glissé
à
mains
nues
dans
sa
tanière
de
montagne
I'm

coupé,
les
montagnes
ont
tremblé

to
proof
that
I
was
stout
Je
me
suis
battu
avec
un
chat
sauvage,
juste
pour

and
grabbed
his
tail,
then
turned
him
inside
out
J'ai
plongé
ma
main
dans
sa
gorge
et
j'ai
attrapé
sa
queue,
puis
je
l'ai
retourné
à
l'envers
Where
I
was
raised,
it's
so
darn
tough
Là
où
j'ai
grandi,
c'est
tellement
dur

c'est
devenu
