[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]When I was in
old Fort Worth in [D]1883
Saw a Mexican [Bm]cow boy
come ridin' up to [D]me
Saying, how are you, young [Bm]fellow?
Now, would you like to [D]go
And [Bm]spend another summer
In the hills of Mexico?
[D]Well, I had[Bm] no employment
Back to him I did [D]say
It's according to your [Bm]wages,
according to your [D]pay,
I will pay to you good [Bm]wages,
and off until you [D]know,
if you'll [Bm]spend another season
in the hills of Mexico.
[D][Bm][D][Bm]
[D][Bm][D][Bm]
[D]Now
with [Bm]all his flatterin' talkin'
He signed up quite a [D]train
Some ten or twelve in [Bm]number,
some able -bodied [D]men
And our trip, it was [Bm]pleasant
as we hit the western [D]road
Till we [Bm]crossed the old Peace River
to those hills of Mexico
[D]It was the[Bm]re our pleasures ended
and our troubles all be[D]gun
Was a lightning storm that [Bm]hit us
and made the cattle [D]run
And we all got full of [Bm]stickers
from the cactus that did [D]grow
And the [Bm]outlaws there to rob us
in those hills of Mexico
[D]Well they sen[Bm]t along that old steamboat
and back to home did [D]go
Now those bells started [Bm]ringing,
the whistles they did [D]blow
Going back to friends and [Bm]loved ones,
and I'll tell them not to [D]go
To that [Bm]God -forsaken country
in those hills of Mexico.
