Salvador Sanchez arrived and vanished
|
Only twenty-three with so much speed
|
Owning the highway
|
|
Mexico City bred so many
|
But none quite like him sweet warrior
|
Pure magic matador
|
|
Pancho Villa would never rest
|
'Til 1925 he closed his eyes
|
Two Manilla stars would rise
|
|
Ghosts of the Phillipines, choirs and angels sing
|
Ukelele strings play for his legend
|
Iloilo king
|
|
How have they gone
|
Felled by leather
|
All alone
|
Bound together
|
|
Benny "kid" Paret came a good way
|
Climbed to the grey sky to lift his hands
|
Stopped by the better man
|
|
Eyes of Las Villas cry for sons
|
Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
|
Struck and delivered him
|
|
How have they gone
|
Felled by leather
|
All alone
|
Bound together
|
|
Why have they gone
|
Felled by leather
|
All alone
|
All bound together
|
