[Verse 1]
High noon on the desert
The eye of God was like a burning sun
Their lips were chapped and broken
Could not wet them with their swollen tongues
Sanchez still had one spur left
It jingled everytime he took a stride
And Two Dogs cursed his broken head
Blue bandana dripping red
And wondered for the hundredth time how hard it was to die
[Chorus]
Ragged Comancheros, troubles favorite sons
Harder than the cold blue steel it took to make their guns
Steal it from the white eyes, sell it to the Mexicans
Then adios amigos, adios and run
[Verse 2]
Sundown near the border
In a dry gulch where the Fat Horse Creek once flowed
They dreamed of a cantina
And the beer they drank there not so long ago
Sanchez lit a cigarette
And tried to hide the truth behind his eyes
Two Dogs took a drag instead
Blue bandana soaking red
And wondered for the thousandth time how long it took to die
[Chorus]
Ragged Comancheros, troubles favorite sons
Harder than the cold blue steel it took to make their guns
Steal it from the white eyes, sell it to the Mexicans
Then adios amigos, adios and run
[Outro]
Adios amigos, adios and run
