Lyrics

It's when I was in old Fort Worth in 1883
Some old Mexican cowboy come steppin' up to me
Saying, "How are you, young fella, and would you like to go
And to spend another season with me in Mexico?"
As 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 know
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
And I nearly starved to death, boys, I mean to let you know
And I never saved 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 'neath those hills of Mexico
