Across the alley from the Alamo 

  
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo 

    G7 
Who sang a sort of Indian Hideho 

       F      G7      C 
To the people passing by 

  
     
The pinto spent his time a swichin' flies 

  
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies 

    G7 
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes 

       F      G7      C 
On the people passing by 

  
    F               C 
One day they went a walkin' 

 F        Fm       C 
Along the railroad track 

          E7           Am 
They were swishin' not lookin' 

D7 
Toot toot 

                G7 
They never came back 

  
 C 
Across the alley from the Alamo 

  
When the summer sun decides to settle low 

  G7 
A fly sings an indian Hideho 

       F      G7      C 
To the people passing by 

  
  
Across the alley from the Alamo 

  
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo 

    G7 
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough 

       F      G7      C 
To the people passing by 

  
      
They thought that they would make some easy bucks 

  
If they're washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux 

  G7 
A pair of very conscientious clucks 

       F      G7      C 
On the people passing by 

  
         F 
The they took this cheap vacation 

      F          Fm       C 
Their shoes were polished bright 

        E7              Am 
No they never heard the whistle 

D7 
Toot toot 
                     G7 
They're clear out of sight 

  
C 
Across the alley from the Alamo 

  
When the starlight beams its tender tender glow 

    G7 
The beams go to sleep and there ain't no dough 

        F      G7      C 
For the people passing by
