Pancho Villa lyrics

Song information

Artist: Sun Kil Moon
Album: Ghosts Of The Great Highway

Lyrics

Salvador sanchez arrived and vanished
Only twenty-three with so much speed
Owning the highway

Mexico city bred so many
But none quite like him sweet warrior
Pure magic matador

Pancho villa would never rest
'Til 1925 he closed his eyes
'Til manilla stars would rise

Gozo of the phillipines, choirs and angels sing
Ukelele strings play for his legend
Italy had a king

How have they gone
Fell by leather
So alone
Bound together

Benny "kid" paret came a good way
Climbed to the grey sky to raise his hands
Stopped by the better man

Eyes of los rios cry for suns
Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
Struck and delivered him

How have they gone
Fell by leather
So alone
Bound together

Why have they gone
Fell by leather
So alone
All bound together
