Lyrics for Pancho Villa

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 'Til Manila stars would rise Gozo of the Phillipines Choirs and angels sing Ukelele strings play for his legend Italy had a king How have they gone? Fell by leather All alone All bound together Benny "Kid" Paret Came a good way Climbed to the gray skies to lift his hands Stopped by the better man Eyes of Los Rios Cry for sons Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors Struck and delivered him How have they gone? Fell by leather All alone All bound together How have they gone? Fell by leather All alone All bound together
