Hills of Mexico
by Roscoe Holcomb

When I'zzzzzz in old Fort Worth
in 18 and 83
Some ol' Mexican cowboy
come steppin' up to me
Sayin' I'll hire you young feller
How would you love to go
and to spend another season
with me in Mexico?

Lord, I had no employment
back to him did say
Tis' 'cordin' to your wages
and 'cordin' to your pay
Say I will pay to you good wages
often, till you're home
If you'll spend another season
with me in Mexico

(break)

And they sent an'on that old steamboat
and back to home did go
How the bells it did ring
the whistles they did blow
How the bells it did ring
the whistles they did blow
In a God forsaken part
fer from those hills of Mexico
