Well when I was in old Fort Worth in 18 and 83
Come a Mexican cowboy come stepping up to me
Saying how are you, young fellow
How would you love to go
Come and spend another season with me in Mexico?
♪
Well I have no employment, back to him I say
It's according to your wages, according to your pay
I will pay to you good wages and often too you know
If you'll spend another season with me in Mexico
♪
Spent my wages on the steamboat and back to home did go
How the bells they did ring, the whistles they did blow
How the bells they did ring, the whistles they did blow
Through one god forsaken forest in the hills of Mexico
