1
The gold ran dry in '54 so with a broken hand
2
He packed his bags and headed south across the Rio Grande
3
The town was mean and brutal for a gringo filled with strife
4
He was about to end it all when some thing changed his life
5
A bullfight in the street went bad the beast made to escape
6
And in a feat of danger with his jacket as a cape
7
He stared into the eyes of death and bought it to his knees
8
A cry went up from in the crowd at last he felt appeased
9
Then all the people were screaming
10
Having the time of their lives
11
Some said they thought they were dreaming
12
But he was right there before their eyes
13
He had the crowd they cheering right in the palms of his hands
14
With one or two of them leering
15
At what they never could comprehend
16
Matador heart of the brave
17
Suit of life never to save
18
Matador in for the kill
19
Statuesque he's standing still
20
El Toro charged he danced with death
21
And every place he's go
22
The reputation lead the way through all of Mexico
23
The Greatest of the Greats they said
24
One never to be missed
25
But all good things come to an end
26
And so it was with his
27
A moments hesitation and he felt the gore go deep
28
His life flashed in slow motion as the crowd begin to weep
29
The country was in mourning as they buried him that day
30
But memories live for ever like the ghost of him they say
31
The people said he's The Greatest
32
Look at his flair and his style
33
No one can stand in his foot steps
34
Or follow him by a mile
35
The crowd was in such a frenzy
36
He had the air of a saint
37
Control was part of the fever
38
Together with such restraint
39
Matador graced by The Lord
40
Cheating death plunging the sword
41
Matador here to annul
42
With respect praise for the bull
43
There was a sense of dramatic
44
That in the blink of an eye
45
It could turn into traumatic
46
Would he be alive or die
47
He was the man of the hour
48
And master of his domain
49
He was bestowed and empowered
50
He had the key to each city he reigned
51
Matador heart of the brave
52
Suit of life never to save
53
Matador in for the kill
54
Statuesque he's standing still
