Show A Mejcican "Ballad. There was a Greaser bold and staid Don Gomez del Gomazza Who loved a gentle Greaser maid, The Donna Prontpiazza. Don Gomez rode a mustang proud, And wore a bloody slasher, Of all the gallus Greaser crowd He was the giddiest masher. Don Gomez once was tempted sore, Despite of law and order, To glut his greedy thirst for gore And cross the Texas border. "So fare you well, me lady fair My pretty little Donna!" In vain she tore her raven hair Her Gomez was a goner. Then hied he to the Rio Grande, With Yankee hordes to battle; He crossed into tho promised land, ' And went to stealing cattle. And there, with more than royal pluck, He did this pleasing duty, And, meeting with uncommon luck, He started home with booty. But, oh! the Yankees, fierce and strong, While marching out to battle, Beheld Don Gomez come along A-driving them there cattle. They gathered in the festive steers, And snagged that gallus Greaser, And, with a round of hoots and jeers, They hanged him to a tree, sir. Loud wailed the Greaser maiden fair The Donna Frontpiazza; Once more she tore her maiden hair For Gomez del Gomazza! Exchange. |
