D For a change I headed G south across the D border D For the G pesos and a C different horse to D ride D I'd be back to make the G rodeo in D Waco D But that was G long before I C saw them dark brown A eyes D With long black hair and G English bad and D broken D Her G body said the C words she couldn't D find D As I hung on every G word she left un D spoken D Oh The G question started C leaning on my A mind Chorus: A Rode D oooo G oooo or D Mexico D They C both can keep a G cowboy satis A fied A Rode D oooo G oooo or D Mexico D The C only way I G know how to de A cide A Is just get on and D ride D We danced all night be G neath that sheet of D cotton D And you G just don't tell a C girl like that good D bye D But the cowboy life ain't G easily for D gotten D Though G lying there I couldn't C help but wonder A why (Chorus) D G D A Let me on and D ride D G D A That's right D D Well The morning found the G answer dawning D on me D As I G woke up to the C sharp end of a D knife D He was screaming at the G woman hanging D on me D Does any G body know the C Spanish word for A wife? (Chorus) D G D A Crawl on up and D ride D G D A
