Subject: Lyr Add: My Name is Pancho, I Live On A Rancho
While researching "My Name is Pancho Villa, I Got the Gonorrhea",
I discovered another song (ditty) about "Poncho" that has three or four
tune variants and is also a recitation.

The song starts off "My name is Pancho..." with variants to the name
of "Paco", "Chico", and "Yon Yonson". Texts, transcriptions, and
links to recordings provided below in the following posts.

Any help identifying the tunes is appreciated. If you have any
details on *your* version and when you learned the song-rhyme is
appreciated.


My name it is Pancho,
I live on the rancho
I make two dollars a day
I go to see Lucy
She give me some pussy
And take my two dollars away.


Aye, Aye, Aye-eye
Fuck in the bedroom.


My Name it is Pancho,
I live on the rancho
I make two dollars a day
I go to see Nellie
I bounce on her belly
She take my two dollars away.

Aye, Aye, Aye-eye
Sigma's always eat pizza.


"That's all I... That's a pretty frag... it went on the same for a
while...got tired"


Transcribed from singing of "C.A." recorded July 12, 2005. He learned
this in 1964 to 1968 while at university.

As for the tune, I should know the one above but it escapes me now.
The "eye, eye, eye-eye" is to "Cielito Lindo". But what about the
other part?

Any help identifying the tune is appreciated.
