I must look a mess I must admit
5th          4th        3rd     A
But I have been travelling quite a bit

Is kept by Federales who just grin
5th                4th     3rd     A

I jumped off that boat I almost died

I swore that I would not go home then

(repeat run)
All those lovely ladies were my friends
All those sweet chiquitas they don't pretend

When the man looked in the window of the bar and he grinned
5th                  4th      3rd      A
And said, "If you come back we just may not be your friend"

(repeat run)
"I don't want to see you 'round here again"
"If you come back next time we may not..."  (Hidy ho' boys!)
