Your rating:
(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 Part 1: El Juego Se Fue Part 2: Cancion Mixteca (Sung by Jorge Torres) Part 3: Virgin of Ciudad Acuna (Sung by REK) Part 4: Streets of Laredo (Sung by Ray Price)
