The Sands of Mexico - Ry Cooder | |
We went down to Churubusco, | |
But the devil got there first; | |
the road was hard, the way was long, | |
Churubusco was far worse. | |
Pressed in the Union Army | |
and ordered off to go | |
along the southern border | |
to the sands of Mexico. | |
Now we come from Cork and Kerry, | |
that emerald world has past, | |
My Mary would be pleased to know | |
I'm a praying man at last! | |
In this distressed country | |
little comfort do we know; | |
my Bible is my road map | |
on the sands of Mexico. | |
When the road is cold up yonder, I'll be there, | |
the boys will harmonize a lovely Irish air. | |
Take a message to my Mary, | |
she's the one that's true I know: | |
when you saw me I had fallen | |
on the sands of Mexico. | |
Now the army used us harshly, | |
we were but trash to them, | |
conscripted Irish farmers | |
not first class soldier men. | |
They beat us and they banged us, | |
mistreated us, you know, | |
but they couldn't make us killers, | |
on the sands of Mexico | |
That's why we call it faith, | |
that's why we call him Lord, | |
that's why I threw away | |
my Yankee sword. | |
Our John Riley seized the day | |
and marched us down the road, | |
and we wouldn't slay our brothers, | |
on the sands of Mexico. | |
Faith and righteousness was all in vain, | |
Irish blood was spilled once again. | |
As I stand upon the gallows, | |
it cheers the soul to know | |
history will absolve us | |
on the sands of Mexico. | |
The sands of Mexico, | |
the bloody sands of Mexico! | |
La historia me absolverá | |
on the sands of Mexico. |
