The Mexican

Lyrics

Chico Fernandez Sleepin' on his gun Dreams of Santa Anna Fighting in the sun Drums so loud from both sides Makes it hard to dream Ah, bruises 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 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 gotta have his share Mornin', sad mornin' Heaven will be there Mornin', sad mornin' Well, I laughed, and I laughed Ha-ha-ha-ha–ha
