The Mexican

Chico Fernandez
Sleepin' on his gun
Dreams of Santa Ana
Fighting in the sun

The drums so loud from outside
Makes it hard to dream
A bruise fallin' hard and fast
Makes it all seem real

Mornin' come mornin'
A-Chico gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Said he must be there

Mornin', sad mornin'
Well, I laughed and I cried
And I cry, cry, cry, cry, cried

Mornin', sad mornin'
Mexican

Señorita's pining
Chico, come on home
Santa Ana's losing
You'll be first to go

Sam Houston's laughing
Davy Crockett too
When Ana takes The Alamo
The first to go is you

Mornin', come mornin'
A-Chico gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Heaven will be there

Mornin', sad mornin'
Well, I laughed and aloud
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Mexican
Ha ha ha ha ha
Mexican
Ha ha ha ha ha
Mexican
Ha ha ha ha ha
