Lyrics and translation Louis Jordan - Roamin' Blues
Left
Chicago
in
the
summer,
New
York
in
the
fall,
J'ai
quitté
Chicago
en
été,
New
York
en
automne,
Detroit
in
the
winter
didn't
prove
a
thing
at
all
Détroit
en
hiver
n'a
rien
prouvé
du
tout
I
got
those
roamin'
blues
J'ai
ce
blues
vagabond
Yes
I
got
those
roamin'
blues
Oui,
j'ai
ce
blues
vagabond
Can't
find
no
place
to
settle
Je
ne
trouve
pas
d'endroit
où
m'installer
Woo
I
got
those
roamin'
blues
Woo,
j'ai
ce
blues
vagabond
Joined
a
club
in
old
Saint
Louis,
that
G.I.
free
loot
club
J'ai
rejoint
un
club
à
Saint-Louis,
ce
club
gratuit
pour
les
GI
Stood
in
line
so
long
man,
wore
my
legs
down
to
a
nub
J'ai
fait
la
queue
si
longtemps,
mec,
j'ai
usé
mes
jambes
jusqu'à
ne
plus
rien
avoir
I
hit
the
road
again
J'ai
repris
la
route
Yes
I
hit
the
road
again
Oui,
j'ai
repris
la
route
Can't
find
no
place
to
settle
Je
ne
trouve
pas
d'endroit
où
m'installer
So
I
hit
the
road
again
Alors
j'ai
repris
la
route
I
thought
I'd
made
it
Jack
in
good
old
Albuquerq'
J'ai
pensé
que
j'avais
trouvé
mon
bonheur
dans
la
bonne
vieille
Albuquerque
I
was
on
the
wrong
track,
you
know
they
tried
to
make
me
work
J'étais
sur
la
mauvaise
voie,
tu
sais,
ils
ont
essayé
de
me
faire
travailler
- Ain't
that
a
killer?
- C'est
pas
dingue
?
I
hit
the
road
right
quick
J'ai
filé
sur
la
route
Yes
that
judge
was
much
too
slick
Oui,
ce
juge
était
trop
rusé
Can't
find
no
place
to
settle
Je
ne
trouve
pas
d'endroit
où
m'installer
Woo
I
hit
the
road
right
quick
Woo,
j'ai
filé
sur
la
route
Then
Las
Vegas
was
the
next
stop,
that
fast
town
left
me
weak
Puis
Las
Vegas
était
la
prochaine
étape,
cette
ville
rapide
m'a
laissé
faible
The
dice
man
made
twelve
passes
and
I
was
up
the
well-known
creek
Le
joueur
de
dés
a
fait
douze
passes
et
j'étais
dans
le
fossé
bien
connu
Those
gamblers
put
me
down
Ces
joueurs
m'ont
fait
tomber
Yes
I
had
to
walk
right
out
of
town
Oui,
j'ai
dû
filer
de
la
ville
Mm-mm,
that
ain't
no
place
to
settle
Mm-mm,
ce
n'est
pas
un
endroit
où
s'installer
Mmm,
I
had
to
walk
right
out
of
town
Mmm,
j'ai
dû
filer
de
la
ville
Ah
but
I
hit
the
greatest
town
of
all,
Frantic
Frisco
Ah
mais
j'ai
trouvé
la
plus
grande
ville
de
toutes,
San
Francisco
Got
me
a
gal
with
plenty
gold
and
she
just
won't
let
me
go
J'ai
trouvé
une
fille
avec
plein
d'or
et
elle
ne
veut
pas
me
laisser
partir
I
think
I've
found
a
place
Je
pense
avoir
trouvé
un
endroit
Yes
I
got
my
boots
all
laced
Oui,
j'ai
mes
bottes
bien
lacées
Found
me
a
home,
don't
have
to
roam,
it's
good
news,
J'ai
trouvé
un
foyer,
je
n'ai
plus
besoin
de
vagabonder,
c'est
une
bonne
nouvelle,
I've
lost
those
roamin'
blues
J'ai
perdu
ce
blues
vagabond
