Across The Alley From The Alamo
Recorded by - Asleep At The Wheel, Ray Benson
G
Across the alley from the Alamo Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
D7 Am7 D7 G
Who sang a sort of Indian Hi-de-ho To the people passing by
G
The pinto spent his time a switchin' flies and the Navajo watched the lazy skies
D7 Am7 D7 G
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes On the people passing by
C G C G
One day they went a walkin' along the railroad track
Em A7 N/C D7
They were swishin' not lookin' toot-toot, they never came back
G
Across the alley from the Alamo when the summer sun decides to settle low
D7 Am7 D7 G
A fly sings an Indian Hi-de-ho to the people passing by
Instrumental Break
G
Across the alley from the Alamo lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
D7 Am7 D7 G
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough for the people passing by
G
They thought that they would make some easy bucks if they're washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
D7 Am7 D7 G
A pair of very conscientious clucks on the people passing by
C G C G
Then they took this cheap vacation their shoes were polished bright
Em A7 N/C D7
No they never heard the whistle, Toot toot, they're clear out of sight
G
Across the alley from the Alamo when the starlight beams its tender glow
D7 Am7 D7 G
The beams go to sleep and there ain't no dough for the people passing by
C D7 G
Across the alley, from the Alamo
