The Sands of Mexico - The Chieftains (酋长乐队)/Ry Cooder (莱·库德)[00:00:00]

We went down to Churubusco [00:00:10]

But the devil got there first;[00:00:14]

The road was hard the way was long [00:00:18]

Churubusco was far worse [00:00:22]

Pressed in the Union Army[00:00:26]

And ordered off to go[00:00:30]

Along the southern border[00:00:35]

To the sands of Mexico [00:00:38]

Now we come from Cork and Kerry [00:00:44]

That emerald world has past [00:00:48]

My Mary would be pleased to know[00:00:53]

I'm a praying man at last [00:00:57]

In this distressed country[00:01:01]

Little comfort do we know;[00:01:05]

My Bible is my road map[00:01:09]

On the sands of Mexico [00:01:13]

When the road is cold up yonder I'll be there [00:01:20]

The boys will harmonize a lovely Irish air [00:01:29]

Take a message to my Mary [00:01:36]

She's the one that's true I know:[00:01:41]

When you saw me I had fallen[00:01:45]

On the sands of Mexico [00:01:49]

Now the army used us harshly [00:01:55]

We were but trash to them [00:01:59]

Conscripted Irish farmers[00:02:03]

Not first class soldier men [00:02:07]

They beat us and they banged us [00:02:11]

Mistreated us you know [00:02:15]

But they couldn't make us killers [00:02:19]

On the sands of Mexico[00:02:23]

That's why we call it faith [00:02:27]

That's why we call him Lord [00:02:30]

That's why I threw away[00:02:34]

My Yankee sword [00:02:38]

Our John Riley seized the day[00:02:42]

And marched us down the road [00:02:46]

And we wouldn't slay our brothers [00:02:49]

On the sands of Mexico [00:02:54]

Faith and righteousness was all in vain [00:03:32]

Irish blood was spilled once again [00:03:38]

As I stand upon the gallows [00:03:45]

It cheers the soul to know[00:03:50]

History will absolve us[00:03:53]

On the sands of Mexico [00:03:57]

The sands of Mexico [00:04:03]

The bloody sands of Mexico [00:04:06]

La historia me absolverá[00:04:13]

On the sands of Mexico[00:04:18]
