paroles de chanson Hank and Joe and Me - Johnny Cash

In the desert where we searched for gold
The days are hot the nights are cold
Hank and Joe and me walked on
So bold and brave and free

For days and days we fought the heat
I got so thirsty and I got so weak
And when I fell 'cause I couldn't go
I heard Hank say to Joe

He's dyin' (dyin' dyin')
For water (ooh ooh)
Hear him cryin' (cryin' cryin')
For a water (ooh ooh)

Well lay him down in the dust and sand, he said
Joe, you know, he's a dying man
Leave him there and let him die
I can't stand to hear him cry for water

I don't remember how long I lay
But when I awoke it was the break of day
Buzzards circled miles ahead
I knew Hank and Joe were dead

My eyes were dimmed but I could see
A bed of gold nuggets under me
Now I know that it won't be long
'Til they decorate my bones

'Cause I'm dyin' (dyin' dyin')
For water (ooh ooh)
Can't help cryin' (cryin' cryin')
For water (ooh ooh)

Well they laid me down in the dust and sand
He said, Joe, you know, he's a dyin' man
Leave him there and let him die
I can't stand to hear him cry for water
He couldn't stand to hear me cry for water (ooh ooh)
