... verme tan solo y triste
5
Cual hoja al viento,

Quisiera llorar, quisiera morir

De sentimiento

(Part 3)
9
There's an alley in Acuna
10
Right next to a night club
11
That's never been paved
12
And is hip deep in chugholes
13
It sort of trails into
14
What once was a river
15
But now is a ditch
16
That smells just like sewage
17
And there in the alley
18
We're drinking Vampiras
19
And smoking Delicados
20
With Jaime and Umberto
21
At three in the morning
22
They order more nachos
23
Another round of Vampiras
24
'Cause they own the night club
25
As well as the alley
26
And all of a sudden
27
We could not stop laughing
28
And the laughter bounced off of
29
The old precinct station
30
And roared down the street
31
Infecting the students
32
Who were all still on spring break
33
But now were all laughing
34
Except for the one
35
With the beautiful girlfriend
36
Who looked like the virgin of Ciudad Acuna
37
Who munched on a nacho
38
And watched as her boyfriend
39
Knelt down by Umberto
40
And could not stop vomiting
41
(Part 4)
42
Beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
43
Play the dead march as you bear me along
44
Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me
45
I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
46
Ay, ay ay ay
47
Ay, ay ay ay
48
Ay, ay ay ay
49
Ay, ay ay ay
