The Mercenary Song Songtext

von Cory Morrow

Me and and old Bill there we both come from Georgia
Met Hank out in New Mexico
We're bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa
We hear that he's payin' in gold
Well I guess a man's got to do what he's best at
I ain't found nothin' better so far
Been called mercenaries and men with no country
We're just soldiers in search of a war

[Chorus]
And we're bound for the border
We're soldiers of fortune
And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
Or the peso down Mexico way

When this war is over I might go back to Georgia
And settle down quiet some where
I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile
Heard tell there's some trouble down there

[Chorus]
And we're bound for the border
We're soldiers of fortune
And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
Or the peso down Mexico way

Yeah and we're bound for the border
We're soldiers of fortune
And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
Or the peso down Mexico way

Or the peso down Mexico way
