Across the Alley From the Alamo

Across the alley from the Alamo 
Cdim    G G/F# e   Cdim  a7 D9 G 
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo 
     D     a7      D9  Cdim D a7 D7 
Who sang a sort of Indian  "Hideho" 
       C  C/B Cdim D7 G  D7 
To the people passin' by. 
 
The pinto spent his time aswishin' flies 
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies 
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes 
On the people passin' by.

   A  long the railroad track 
   G/F#      e        B+     e7  e6 
   They were swishin' not a look in' 
        b7-5        A7    Cdim  D7 
   Toot! Toot! they never came back. 
 
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo 
When the summer sun decides  to settle low 
A fly sings an Indian  "Hideho" 
To the people passing by. 
 
Across the alley from the Alamo 
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo 
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough 
For the people passing by. 
 
They thought that they would make some easy bucks 
By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux, 
A pair of very conscientious clucks 
To the people passin' by. 
 
R: Then they took this cheap vacation, 
   Their shoes were polished bright; 
   No, they never heard the whistle 
   Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight 
 
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo, 
When the starlight beams its tender glow, 
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough 
For the people passin' by. 
 
R: One day, they went a walkin' 
   A long the railroad track 
   They were swishin' not a lookin' 
   Toot! Toot!, they never came back. 
 
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo 
When the summer sun decides to  settle low 
A fly sings an Indian  "Hideho" 
To the people passin' by.
