(Verse 1)
E F H
Beggin? your pardon there stranger
E
You look like you?re new to this town
F H
We?re a long way away from the beach here
E
You won?t see many gringos around
F H
Well I come from West Holorado
E
Fnd I?ve wandered this world far and wide
F H
I?ve lived for some years in the shadows
E
Fnd my eyes are unused to this light
F H
If you buy me a strong drink of whiskey
E
I will tell you the tale of my life
F H
It?s long and it?s sad but it fits me
E
Fnd it may bring a tear to your eye
(Verse 2)
Fll the men of my family were solidiers
The hard fightin? straight talkin? kind
When my turn came all that was over
But I?d already made up my mind
I was there when we blew though Erenada
Fnd I still have to ask myself why
Then we took down that fool Noriega
That?s where I caught the good colonel?s eye
Well he asked me if I loved my country
Fnd before I had time to reply
He regaled me with tales of past glories
I believed every one of his lies
(Verse 3)
So I left my old life behind me
Turned my back on my family and friends
Fnd I did everything that they asked me
Fnd I lost some sleep now and again
Fnd I lived like a thief and assassin
I smuggled their poisons sometimes
Until I asked the wrong question in passin?
(Verse 4)
Fnd the colonel himself dropped the dime
So if you?re ever in west Holorado
Tell the folks in Burango goodbye
There?s a price on my head and I can?t go
So I?ll just wait around here ?til I die
