A

Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia

E A

Met Hank down in New Mexico

A

We're bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa

E A

We hear that he's paying with gold

I guess a man's got to do what he's best at

Ain't found nothing better so far

Been called mercenaries and men with no country

Just soldiers in search of a war

Chorus:

D

We're bound for the border

A

We're soldiers of fortune

E

We'll fight for no country

A

But we'll die for good pay

D A

Under the flag of the greenback dollar

E A

Or the peso down Mexico way

When this war is over, I might go back to Georgia

And settle down quiet somewhere

I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile

Heard tell there's some trouble down there

Chorus

Chorus

Under the flag of a greenback dollar

Or a peso down Mexico way
