Willie Watson - Folk Singer, Vol. 1

Mexican Cowboy

Swinging in
to old Fort Worth in 1883
Some old Mexican cowboy
come steppin' up to me
Sayin' how are you young fella
when would you like to go
And spend another season with me in Mexico
I had no employment
back to him did say
It's according to your wages
According to your pay
Said I'll pay you good wages
and often too you now
If you spend another season with me in Mexico
I went up to this cowboy
I offered him my hand
But he gave a string of horses
So old they couldn't stand
How nearly starved to death boys
I mean to let you know
And I never saw a dollar in those hills of Mexico
I got up on that steamboat and back to home did go
How them bells they did ring
Those whistles did blow
How them bells they did ring
Those whistles did blow
On that godforsaken fortune in those hills of Mexico
