The Mexican

Chico Fernandez

Sleepin' on his guns

Dreams of Santa Anna

Fighting in the sun

Drums so loud from outside

Makes it hard to dream

A bruise is fallin' hard and fast

Makes it all seem real

Mornin', come mornin'

A Chico's gotta have his share

Mornin', sad mornin'

Said he must be there

Mornin', sad mornin'

What a laugh, and I cried

And I cry, cry, cry, cry, cried

Mornin', sad mornin'

Mexican

Señorita pining

Chico come on home

Santa Anna's losing

You'll be first to go

Sam Houston's laughing

Davy Crockett, too

When Anna takes the Alamo

The first to go is you

Mornin', come mornin'

A Chico's gotta have his share

Mornin', sad mornin'

Heaven will be there

Mornin', sad mornin'

What a laugh, and I laugh
