[C] I'm a traveling salesman, [G] I travel over [C] the world.
I leave my wife at home, [G] trusting she'll be a good little girl.
[C] And we have a rumor in our [F]
family, [C] and here is the story [G] of what that [C] louse did to me.
That louse of a rumor [G] from New [C] Mexico, eh?
No doubt that jerk from Albuquerque, he's [G] in that same mood today.
What he did [Cm] to my Fiesta [C] while I [F] was away, [C] south of Herbard, [G] down in New [C] Mexico.
When I came home, a little [G] bambino was crying, and I think I heard it [C] murmur so tenderly.
Then I think I [F] heard it say, mañana.
And [C] folks, you can [G] see, it ain't one drop of [C] Spanish in me.
South of the border, [G] I [C] rode back one day, and I shot him right between his Rio [G] Grande and his sea.
[A] There's one thing I know [C] now, oh, [F] he'll never play,
[C] south of Herbard, [G] in the Mexico [C] way.
[Cm]
