The Ballad of Cable Hogue Songtext
von John Cale

Traffic moving slowly, Monday morning
Money talks, people hoping
Cable Hogue, where′ve you been?
Cable Hogue, where've you been?

Something inside me tells me you won′t show
I know you're carrying heat
But what for God only knows
Oh Cable, wish you were with me now
Cable Hogue, where've you been?


I just wanted to say goodbye
Wanted so much to say goodbye
Wanted to say goodbye to all my friends
In case I die

I need to go to Georgia
Got a bank to blow
Living ain′t easy, but it′s much harder when it's slow
Oh Cable, Cable why did you leave me?
Cable Hogue, where′ve you been?

You know they're looking for you down south
All you′ve got to do is go down there
And open your big fat mouth
Oh Cable, Cable you can't leave me here like this
You can′t leave me here like this
Cable, please don't leave me here like this
You can't, you can′t, you can′t


Thank you very much
