Paco and the Pistol
Oh the people are coming
All from the dark
But there's only shadows
You're running from
And I cried, how long, how long, how long
Now Johnny picked up his shotgun
And Paco his pistol
And out in the dark
I held the bottle
And I was lit up, lit up, by a candle
Now Johnny let out a shot
Into the dark
And I hit the ground
And Paco crouched on my shoulder
And I cried, how long, how long, how long
And Johnny came back around
All from the dark
Said there's only shadows
And the wind on the ground
And he cried, how long, how long, how long
Now the boy was a soldier
Fresh from the war
He lost his family
All that he had fought for
He cried, how long, how long, how long
Now Paco put back his pistol
He said I don't know how long
Said these things just happen
For the boy so young
He cried, how long, how long, how long
All from the dark
But there's only shadows
You're running from
And I cried, how long, how long, how long
Now Johnny picked up his shotgun
And Paco his pistol
And out in the dark
I held the bottle
And I was lit up, lit up, by a candle
Now Johnny let out a shot
Into the dark
And I hit the ground
And Paco crouched on my shoulder
And I cried, how long, how long, how long
And Johnny came back around
All from the dark
Said there's only shadows
And the wind on the ground
And he cried, how long, how long, how long
Now the boy was a soldier
Fresh from the war
He lost his family
All that he had fought for
He cried, how long, how long, how long
Now Paco put back his pistol
He said I don't know how long
Said these things just happen
For the boy so young
He cried, how long, how long, how long
