Across
the
alley
from
the
Alamo
De
l'autre
côté
de
l'allée,
en
face
de
l'Alamo
Lived
a
pinto
pony
and
a
Navajo
Vivait
un
poney
pie
et
un
Navajo
Who
sang
a
sort
of
Indian
"Hi-de-ho"
Qui
chantaient
une
sorte
de
"Hi-de-ho"
indien
To
the
people
passin'
by
Aux
gens
qui
passaient
The
pinto
spent
his
time
a-swishin'
flies
Le
pie
passait
son
temps
à
chasser
les
mouches
And
the
Navajo
watched
the
lazy
skies
Et
le
Navajo
regardait
le
ciel
paresseux
And
very
rarely
did
they
ever
rest
their
eyes
Et
très
rarement
ils
reposaient
leurs
yeux
On
the
people
passin'
by
Sur
les
gens
qui
passaient
One
day,
they
went
a
walkin'
along
the
railroad
track
Un
jour,
ils
se
sont
mis
à
marcher
le
long
de
la
voie
ferrée
They
were
swishin'
not
a-lookin'
Toot!
Toot!,
they
never
came
back
Ils
chassaient
sans
regarder
Toot!
Toot!,
ils
ne
sont
jamais
revenus
Oh,
across
the
alley
from
the
Alamo
Oh,
de
l'autre
côté
de
l'allée,
en
face
de
l'Alamo
When
the
summer
sun
decides
to
settle
low
Quand
le
soleil
d'été
décide
de
se
coucher
A
fly
sings
an
Indian
"Hi-de-ho"
Une
mouche
chante
un
"Hi-de-ho"
indien
To
the
people
passing
by
Aux
gens
qui
passent
Across
the
alley
from
the
Alamo
De
l'autre
côté
de
l'allée,
en
face
de
l'Alamo
Lived
a
pinto
pony
and
a
Navajo
Vivait
un
poney
pie
et
un
Navajo
Who
used
to
bake
frijoles
in
cornmeal
dough
Qui
avaient
l'habitude
de
faire
cuire
des
frijoles
dans
une
pâte
de
farine
de
maïs
For
the
people
passing
by
Pour
les
gens
qui
passaient
They
thought
that
they
would
make
some
easy
bucks
Ils
pensaient
qu'ils
feraient
des
sous
faciles
By
washin'
their
frijoles
in
Duz
and
Lux,
En
lavant
leurs
frijoles
dans
du
Duz
et
du
Lux,
A
pair
of
very
conscientious
clucks
Une
paire
de
coqs
très
consciencieux
To
the
people
passin'
by
Aux
gens
qui
passaient
Then
they
took
this
cheap
vacation,
their
shoes
were
polished
bright
Puis
ils
ont
pris
ces
vacances
bon
marché,
leurs
chaussures
étaient
brillantes
No,
they
never
heard
the
whistle,
Toot!
Toot!
they're
clear
out
of
sight
Non,
ils
n'ont
jamais
entendu
le
sifflet,
Toot!
Toot!
ils
sont
hors
de
vue
Oh,
across
the
alley
from
the
Alamo
Oh,
de
l'autre
côté
de
l'allée,
en
face
de
l'Alamo
When
the
starlight
beams
its
tender
glow
Quand
la
lumière
des
étoiles
diffuse
sa
douce
lueur
The
beams
go
to
sleep
and
then
there
ain't
no
dough
Les
faisceaux
s'endorment
et
puis
il
n'y
a
plus
de
pâte
For
the
