Sun Kil Moon – Pancho Villa lyrics
Album: Ghosts Of The Great Highway
Salvador Sanchez
arrived and vanished
only twenty-three with so much speed
owning the highway
Mexico City
bred so many
but none quite like him
sweet warrior
pure magic matador
Pancho Villa
would never rest
until 1925
he closed his eyes
to Manilla stars at night
Ghosts of the Phillipines
the choirs and angels sing
Ukelele strings
play for his legend
Iloilo king
have they gone
felled by leather
all alone,
but bound together
Benny "Kid" Paret
came a good way
climbed to gray skies
to lift his hands
stopped by the better man
Eyes of Los Rios
cry for sons
lost on distant shores
unforseen horrors
struck him, delivered him
have they gone
felled by leather
so alone,
but bound together
have they gone
felled by leather
so alone,
but bound together
