Dogs of War

We crossed the border
About 4 am
Villa gave the order
500 men
I think of sweet Maria
Crying vaya con Dios
Who let slip
The dogs of war?

This is our homeland
The gringos come
Generalissimo Pershing
With his long range guns
I think of sweet Maria
I know I won't see home
Who let slip
The dogs of war?

Though I might slaughter innocence
Maria I will defend
How did this war start?
When will this killing end?

Last night came the message
Of Veracruz's fate
The Yankees started shelling
She tried to leave too late
I think of sweet Maria
Lowered gently in the ground
Who let slip
The dogs of war?

We crossed the border
About 4 am
To my darling Maria
We shall meet again
