Bury Me Where I Fall

So, I’m down in old town Ybor City
The days are hot, and, well, the nights get steamy
How I got here – let me tell you why
I’m on the run, but I might stay awhile
Y’see back in Dallas – good job, a nice place
Sweet young thing with a pretty face
Lost it all in a card game, and with my assets cashed
Now she’s after me an’ I can’t go back

Hey, Senorita
I’ll have another margarita
With your very best tequila
You’re a sweetheart, you’re a doll

Y’know, I can get used to this
I feel rejuvenated, in a way
I suppose I could find a real job
Yeah, perhaps another day

Lemme puff on this nice fat LaFaraona Mareva cigar
Platanos? No gracias

Hey, Senorita
Just one more margarita
With an extra shot o’ tequila
Until I hit the wall

So, now I’m smokin’ Tabenero Bocados
In the shade con mis nuevos aceres
Spending my time where she won’t find me
Y’know I gotta lay low, but I don’t mind
Still playin’ poker but only for matchsticks
Perhaps a little broker I have to admit
But at the end of the day in Ybor by the bay
Feliz y borracho – The Big Guava Ballet

Hey, Senorita
Let’s have another round o’ tequila
Maybe one more hit o’ that Colorado reefer
Then bury me where I fall
