Hills of Mexico

Now when I's in old Fort Worth in 18 and 83
This old Mexican cowboy came stepping up to me
Saying "How are you young fella, how would you like to go
For to spend a summer season, with me in Mexico?"

Now I had no employment so back to him did say
"It's according to your wages, according to your pay"
He said "I'll pay you good wages and often to you know"
"If you'd spend a summer season with me in Mexico"

So I went up to that cowboy and offered him my hand
And he gave me string of horses so old they could not stand
And I nearly starved to death boys and this I'll have you know
That I did not save a dollar 'neath them hills of Mexico

So I called up for my paycheck on that steamboat I did board
How those bells did ring and the whistles they did blow
How those bells did ring and the whistles they did blow
For that god forsaken treasure 'neath them hills of Mexico
