The Mexican Lyrics
Chico Fernandez
Sleepin' on his gun
Dreams of Santa Anna
Fighting in the sun
Drums so loud from both sides
Makes it hard to dream
A blue moon's fallin' hard and fast
Makes it all seem real
Mornin', calm mornin'
And Chico gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Said it must be theeere!
But I laughed, and I cried
and I cry cry
cry, cry, cried!
Mornin', sad mornin'
Me-xi-ca-an
Seniorita's pinin'
Chico, come-on-home
Santa Anna's losin'
You'll be first to go
Sam Houston's laughin'
Davy Crocket too
When Anna takes the Alamo
The first to go is you
Mornin', calm mornin'
And Chico gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Heaven will be theeere!
Mornin', sad mornin'
But I laughed, and I laughed
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha, Ha, Haa!
Sleepin' on his gun
Dreams of Santa Anna
Fighting in the sun
Makes it hard to dream
A blue moon's fallin' hard and fast
Makes it all seem real
And Chico gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Said it must be theeere!
But I laughed, and I cried
and I cry cry
cry, cry, cried!
Me-xi-ca-an
Chico, come-on-home
Santa Anna's losin'
You'll be first to go
Davy Crocket too
When Anna takes the Alamo
The first to go is you
And Chico gotta have his share
Mornin', sad mornin'
Heaven will be theeere!
Mornin', sad mornin'
But I laughed, and I laughed
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha, Ha, Haa!

PER the band, the song is based on the perspective of the Mexicans who marches into the Alamo to take down them Texans. The old movie, The Alamo, w John Wayne depicts the Mexicans as robotic while the Texans are portrayed as self-righteous as is Hollywood. However the band thought it was unjust and wrote the story of Chico Fernandez who is just trying to get by before he is called into war, unsure and uncertain if he’ll make it back to his senorita. Such an incredible song. It’s also the most sampled song of all time. *FACTS

I did some diging its probably about how americans invaded half of mexico in 1800 (btw this is my favourite song)
What in the monkey!!!? No comments?? No comments!!!?? No comments!!!!!? What's wrong with you kids. Ahh this song is amazing, reminds me of the days I use to drive with my brother to Alligator Alley down in Florida. Them was the days.
Seriously what is up with this, no comments, for such a legendary tune, c'mon!!!
This song is a great example of artistic reinterpretation. They took a little whistle from Ennio Morricone's "A Few Dollar's More" Theme and imagined an entirely new and amazing song. Righteous!
