Intro 1
(D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor)
Verse 1
When (B minor) I was in
old Fort Worth in 1883 (D major)
Saw a Mexican cow (B minor) boy
come ridin' up to (D major) me
Saying, how are you, young (B minor) fellow?
Now, would you like to (D major) go
And (B minor) spend another summer
In the hills of Mexico?
(D major) Well, I (B minor) had no employment
Back to him I did (D major) say
It's according to your (B minor) wages,
according to your (D major) pay,
I will pay to you good (B minor) wages,
and off until you (D major) know,
if you'll (B minor) spend another season
in the hills of Mexico.
(D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor)
(D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor)
(D major) Now
with (B minor) all his flatterin' talkin'
He signed up quite a (D major) train
Some ten or twelve in (B minor) number,
some able -bodied (D major) men
And our trip, it was (B minor) pleasant
as we hit the western road (D major)
Till we (B minor) crossed the old Peace River
to those hills of Mexico
(D major) It was (B minor) there our pleasures ended
and our troubles all be (D major) gun
Was a lightning storm that (B minor) hit us
and made the cattle run (D major)
And we all got full of (B minor) stickers
from the cactus that did (D major) grow
And the (B minor) outlaws there to rob us
in those hills of Mexico
(D major) Well they (B minor) sent along that old steamboat
and back to home did (D major) go
Now those bells started ringing, (B minor)
the whistles they did (D major) blow
Going back to friends and (B minor) loved ones,
and I'll tell them not to (D major) go
To that (B minor) God -forsaken country
in those hills of Mexico.
