Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by
The pinto
spent his time a-swishin' flies
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
And very rarely
did they ever rest their eyes
On the people passin' by
One day, they went a
walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never
came back
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to
settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passing by
Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who used to bake
frijoles in cornmeal dough
For the people passing by
They thought that they
would make some easy bucks
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux,
A pair of very
conscientious clucks
To the people passin' by
Then they took this cheap
vacation, their shoes were polished bright
No, they never heard the whistle, Toot! Toot!
they're clear out of sight
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the
starlight beams its tender glow
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
For the people passin' by
One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track
They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back
Oh, across
the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an
Indian "Hi-de-ho"
To the people passin' by
Across the alley from the Alamo | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
