Transcribed from a tape made from a Mary Cliff Traditions program, sung by Rex Allen. I have some problem with his accent in the last verse:
Who shot the hole in my sombrero ? Who put the bullet through the hat ? Who shot the hole in my sombrero ? Who could do a terrible thing like that ? Was it Nita, or Lolita ? Are they did it 'cause I find a new senorita ? Was it Pancho, from the rancho ? Did he do this 'cause I kiss his wife ? I think I get my horse and gallop far away, The bullets flying everywhere, it is not safe to stay. Some hombre sure is mad at me so I don't hang around, The next hole that the bullet makes, it may be farther down. Chorus Was it Nina, or Rosina ? Are they mad 'cause I give all their jewels to Tina ? Was it Chico, from Tampico ? I sell him mine but he no find the gold. Chorus Was it Tony, ------ - ony ? Is he mad because I stole his pinto pony ? (No consider) to pull the trigger. It was not mean for accident, I theenk.
