Hills Of Sonora

David Parker read a western novel and came up with this wonderful song.

Hills of Sonora
Laughing and singing just me and some boys
Vile muttered curses and threatening voice
That Texas brush popper, he left me no choice
Give the local mortician cause to rejoice

It turns out his brother was the mayor of town
Now he and the sheriff, their tracking me down
Please tell my amigos where I might be found
Adios Cortisone, guess I’ll see you around.

Chorus:
Aye yai yai yai, I wish this pony could fly
If I can’t make the river by sundown, it’s shoot straight or die
But if I can reach the south banks of the old Rio Grande
The hills of Sonora will be the new Promised Land
My pony is saddled I’m leaving today
You know that I love you but I just can’t stay
Adios mi novia is all I can say
I’m bound for Chihuahua down Mexico way
My pistols are loaded, my trouble has come
That sheriff from Waco, so swift with his gun
Adios mi muchachos, it sure has been fun
I hope this old horse ain’t forgot how to run

Chorus:
Aye yai yai yai I wish this pony could fly
If I can’t make the river by sundown it’s shoot straight or die
But if I can reach the south banks of the old Rio Grande
The hills of Sonora will be the new promised land
