Constant Companion 03:39
lyrics
buy track
The Colorado River is always making the Grand Canyon I am always becoming your constant companion The Blue Ridge mountains, they don’t tower like the Rockies But in their valleys, they reveal a soft and ancient beauty I will trace your waterways to the Gulf of Mexico I will keep your hearth ablaze in the cold, in the cold rain and snow Drops of water in Mammoth Cave are making monuments no one can see It’s getting harder to tell what is you and what is me You’re the bright spot on my bronze, you’re the laugh lines on my cheek I hear your voice in my mount when I part my lips to speak I will trace your waterways to the Gulf of Mexico I will keep your hearth ablaze in the cold, in the cold rain and snow

lyrics

Delfina always wanted an answer Vertie just wanted a good time I wanted to walk with Delfina But Vertie could stop on a dime I’m living with the Port Neches blues Living with the Port Neches blues Never did seem like the right time to choose So I’m living in Port Arthur with the Port Neches blues Delfina’s daddy didn’t like me He’d seen me out on the town Vertie a laissé son père à Gueydan And headed for higher ground Vertie said I ain’t seen you in ages I’ve heard you been playin’ house I said I been up in Port Neches Somethin’ tells me it ain’t workin’ out I’m living with the Port Neches blues Living with the Port Neches blues Never did seem like the right time to choose So I’m living in Port Arthur with the Port Neches blues Vertie m’a dit hier au soir Qu’elle pouvait plus m’aimer O ça m’a fait pas rien tu sais O ça m’a fait pitié Delfina me dijo asta mañana Ya no te quiero Olvide mi nombre mi cara O que me dolió tanto Tell me is it a lie If you feel yourself about to cry And you push a little tear over the line Tell me is it a crime I’m living with the Port Neches blues Living with the Port Neches blues I played double or nothing and man did I lose So I’m living in Port Arthur I’m living in Port Arthur Yeah I’m stuck here in Port Arthur with the Port Neches blues

Une Grosse Erreur 04:41
lyrics

Une Grosse Erreur Quand j’ai quitté de la maison Je croyais j’avais raison Je me disais je n’aurai jamais revenu Ça n’a pas été si longtemps Je t’ai eu besoin à mon coté Je savais que j’avais fait une grosse erreur Quand je t’ai vu dessus la rue Avec un autre à ton coté Tu ressemblais aussi contente et aussi heureuse Avec des larmes dedans mes yeux Mon cher cœur qui braillait J’ai vu que j’avais fait une grosse erreur Dans la clarté du soleil Dans la lumière de la lune J’ai jamais vu personne aussi heureuse Avec des larmes dedans mes yeux Mon cher cœur aussi cassé Je savais que j’avais fait une grosse erreur Un bout de terre dessous mon dos Les étoiles tout en haut Quoi faire ? Je suis seul dans ma misère Le vent me fait de la morale Je connais je t’ai fait du mal Au final J’ai fait une grosse erreur Ça dit tout va venir un jour Que le soleil va sortir Et le ciel va briller, ouais encore Tu seras toujours partie Mais dans mon cœur tu vas rester Je regrette que j’avais fait une grosse erreur

All the way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much All the way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much Once I get to Lafayette I'm not gonna mind one bit Once I get to Lafayette I'm not gonna mind one little bit Once I get to Baton Rouge I won't cry a tear for you Once I get to Baton Rouge I won't cry a tear for you All the way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much All the way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much Once I get to Vicksburg I don't think I'll feel an urge Once I get to Vicksburg I won't even feel an urge All the way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much All the way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much All the way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much

Heard somebody say I took a wrong turn That’s okay, I’ve got rubber to burn And only two or three more lessons left to learn Oh, the joy of goin’ nowhere You can find me easin’ down the back roads, honey Got no need to make good time You’ve got a dollar, well I’ve got a dime Oh, the joy of goin’ nowhere You say I’m goin’ nowhere, that’s okay I don’t have anywhere to be, well anyway Right here the climate, it suits my ragged clothes Oh, the joy of havin’ nowhere to go, nowhere to go Disappointment is always at the door I got smart and I don’t live there anymore I’d rather count the stars than curl up on the floor Oh, the joy of goin’ nowhere I can’t seem to get lost anymore At least not the way I did before Everywhere I go it feels like home Oh, the joy of goin’ nowhere You say I’m goin’ nowhere, that’s okay I don’t have anywhere to be, well anyway Right here the climate, it suits my ragged clothes Oh, the joy of havin’ nowhere to go, nowhere to go

J’ai eu nouvelles de ma belle Elle était là-bas au Texas J’ai passé par Eunice Et moi, j’ai acheté un pain à cinq sous J’ai arrivé à Basile Et moi, j’ai acheté un can de sardines C’était pour faire le grand voyage C’était là-bas au Texas J’ai arrivé à Lac Charles Et j’ai mangé la moitie J’ai quitté l’autre moitie C’était pour mon déjeuner Arrivé à sa maison C’est là que moi, j’ai vu Qu’une vielle amitié Ça va jamais s’oublier Elle était après m’espérer Avec des larmes dans ses yeux Elle m’a dit mon cher neg’ Voilà que t’es venu me parler
