Vaquero Song
The vaqueros
Sittin' on the backside
Of the train
Sippin' their
Country Cosmopolitans
Of whiskey and beer
Letting out wide beads
Of laughter
Each has a pistol
To his waist
I can see it, clear
But they're the best storytellers
I've come across
In all my years
The death of the old man
The best country singer
The best gunslinger
In Mexico land
We'll see him off
To a fitting end
A funeral dirge
Playing over his head
With a bandana on
Sittin' in my corner
I document
Disorder
I bring the glass
Half full to my
Lips and drink
From it
My cowboy hat
Made of straw
Hangs over my eyes
And my soul
I'll pluck these strings
'Til I'm dead
Like this old man, here
May he rest
Sittin' on the backside
Of the train
Sippin' their
Country Cosmopolitans
Of whiskey and beer
Letting out wide beads
Of laughter
Each has a pistol
To his waist
I can see it, clear
But they're the best storytellers
I've come across
In all my years
The death of the old man
The best country singer
The best gunslinger
In Mexico land
We'll see him off
To a fitting end
A funeral dirge
Playing over his head
With a bandana on
Sittin' in my corner
I document
Disorder
I bring the glass
Half full to my
Lips and drink
From it
My cowboy hat
Made of straw
Hangs over my eyes
And my soul
I'll pluck these strings
'Til I'm dead
Like this old man, here
May he rest
