Its when I Was in old Fort Worth in 1883 Some old Mexican cowboy Come steppin up to me Sayin how are you young fella And would you like to go And to spend another season with me in Mexico I had no employment Back to him did say Its according to your wages According to your pay Said Ill pay you good wages And often too you now If you spend another season with me in Mexico I went up to this cowboy I offered him my hand But he gave a string of horses So old they couldnt stand And I nearly starved to death boys I mean to let you know And I never saved a dollar in those hills of Mexico So I got up on that steamboat and back to hom did go How them bells they did ring Thos whistles did blow How them bells they did ring Those whistles did blow On that godforsaken fortune in those hills of Mexico
