Mercenary Song |
| Me and Bill there we both come from Georgia |
| Met Hank out in New Mexico |
| We’re bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa |
| We hear that he’s payin' in gold |
| I guess a man’s got to do what he’s best at Ain’t found nothin' better so far |
| Been called mercenaries and men with no country |
| Just soldiers in search of a war |
| CHORUS |
| And we’re bound for the border |
| We’re soldiers of fortune |
| And we’ll fight for no country but we’ll die for good pay |
| Under the flag of of the greenback dollar |
| Or the peso down Mexico way |
| When this war is over might go back to Georgia |
| And settle down quiet some where |
| I’ll most likely pack up and head south for Chile |
| Heard tell there’s some trouble down there |
