In an old cantina down in Mexico
|
A bunch of dreamers drinking and thinking out loud
|
Panama Red told the Queen of Brazil
|
Ooh I love you I've loved you since I was a sailor
|
We'll go down to Rio we'll rob us a bank
|
And sail off to Paris in splendor hey we'll be some mighty big spenders
|
|
Abandoned and alone they were easily prone to get into trouble for money
|
In honky tonk dreams they rehearse their scenes
|
And rewrite them all in their favor rewrite them all in their favor
|

|
Minnie the Mo said to Hokomo Joe ooh I'm bored and I'm broke
|
And I've run out of whiskey and honey
|
But Red knows a bank down in Rio that's ripe
|
Where we can fill our pockets with money
|
Hey we'll be some mighty big spenders
|
|
Abandoned and alone...
|

|
Madame Kazoo said to St Louis Lou
|
Ooh tell Panama Red I think that's the last train to Rio
|
The Topeka kid had a hole in his lid
|
They say that he once rode with Pancho
|
When Pancho was a mighty big spender
|
|
Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa
|
Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa
|
Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa
|
Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa
|
[ mandolin ]
|
Wouldn't you know they never did go
|
Ooh they kept on drinkin' and they never even left the cantina
|
And El Presidente de la Banque Brazil he never even lost him a penny
|
Hey he's still a mighty big spender the President's a mighty big spender
|
|
Abandoned and alone...
|
Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa Viva Villa Viva Pancho Villa...
