A Border Tragedy Sözleri

(Part 1)

(Instrumental)

(Part 2)

... verme tan solo y triste

Cual hoja al viento,

Quisiera llorar, quisiera morir

De sentimiento

(Part 3)

There's an alley in Acuna

Right next to a night club

That's never been paved

And is hip deep in chugholes

It sort of trails into

What once was a river

But now is a ditch

That smells just like sewage

And there in the alley

We're drinking Vampiras

And smoking Delicados

With Jaime and Umberto

At three in the morning

They order more nachos

Another round of Vampiras

'Cause they own the night club

As well as the alley

And all of a sudden

We could not stop laughing

And the laughter bounced off of

The old precinct station

And roared down the street

Infecting the students

Who were all still on spring break

But now were all laughing

Except for the one

With the beautiful girlfriend

Who looked like the virgin of Ciudad Acuna

Who munched on a nacho

And watched as her boyfriend

Knelt down by Umberto

And could not stop vomiting

(Part 4)

Beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

Play the dead march as you bear me along

Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me

I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

Ay, ay ay ay

Ay, ay ay ay

Ay, ay ay ay

Ay, ay ay ay
