Bm7    Gsus2                                           Asus
When I's in old Fort Worth in eighteen and eighty three

                 Bm7  Gsus2                   Asus
Some old Mexican cowboy come steppin' up to me

                       Bm7 Gsus2                       Asus
Sayin' how'r you young fella', how would you like to go

                     Bm7   Gsus2
And to spend another season 'neath them hills of mexico?
[Verse]
               Bm7        Gsus2                    Asus
Well, I had no employment, and back to him did say:

                       Bm7 Gsus2                   Asus
It's according to your wages, according to your pay

                             Bm7 Gsus2                      Asus
He said I'll pay to you good wages, and often too, you know,

                        Bm7   Gsus2                       Asus
If you'll spend another season 'neath them hills of mexico
[Instrumental] Bm7 Gsus2 Gadd#11 Asus Bm7 Gsus2 Asus x3 [Verse]
                       Bm7   Gsus2                     Asus
Well I went up to that cowboy and I offered him my hand

                        Bm7  Gsus2                       Asus
And he gave a string of horses so old they couldn't stand

                        Bm7     Gsus2                         Asus
And I nearly starved to death boys, and I mean to let you know

                     Bm7   Gsus2
That I never saved a dollar 'neath them hills of mexico
[Verse]
                 Bm7   Gsus2                   Asus
I sent up for my wages, on a steamboat I did go

                        Bm7 Gsus2                          Asus
How them bells they did ring, those whistles they did blow!

                        Bm7 Gsus2                          Asus
How them bells they did ring, those whistles they did blow,

                     Bm7    Gsus2                       Asus
On that god forsaken fortune 'neath them hills of mexico
