[Intro]
A - E A - E
[Verse]
ECarlos Saragosa left his home in Casas Grandes when the F#mmoon was full
He had no Bmoney in his pocket, just a locket of his sister framed in EGold
He Eheaded for el Sueco, stole a rooster named Gallo Del CiF#melo
Then he Bcrossed the Rio Grande with that Arooster nestled Bdeep within his Earm
EGallo del Cielo was a warrior born in heaven so the F#mlegends say
His wBings they had been broken, he had one eye rollin crazy in his hEead
He'd foEught a hundred fights and the legends say that one night near El F#mSueco
He fBought Cielo seven times, Aseven times he lBeft brave roosters dEead
[Chorus]
AHola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in San AnEtonio
I have F#m27 dollars and the good luck of your good luck of your picture fEramed in gold
ToAnight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del CEielo
Then I'll rF#meturn to buy the land Pancho AVilla stole from Bfather long Eago
[Verse]
EOutside of San Diego in the Onion fields of Paco Monte VF#merde
The PBride of San Diego lay sleeping on a fancy bed of sEilk
And they laEughed when Saragosa pulled the one-eyed Del Cielo from bF#meneath his shirt
But they cBried when Saragosa waked aAway with a Bthousand dollar Ebill
[Chorus]
AHola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa EBarbara
I have F#m1,500 dollars and the good luck of your good luck of your picturEe framed in gold
ToAnight I'll put it all on the fighting spurs of Gallo Del CEielo
Then I'll rF#meturn to buy the land Pancho AVilla stole from Bfather long Eago
[Verse]
Now the mEoon has gone to hiding and the lantern light spills shadows on the
fiF#mghting sand
A wBicked black named Zorro paces Del Cielo into theE night
And CEarlos Saragosa fears the tiny crack that runs across hisF#m roosters beak
And he Bfears that he has lost the 50,A000 dollars Briding on the Efight
[Chorus]
AHola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in Santa EClara
The F#mmoney's on the table, I'm holding now your good luck framed in gEold
AEverything we dream of is riding on the spurs of Del CiEelo
Then I'll rF#meturn to buy the land Pancho AVilla stole from Bfather long Eago
[Verse]
EThe signal it was given and the roosters rose together fF#mar above the sand
BGallo Del Cielo sunk a gaff into Zorro's shiny breEast
They were Eseparated quickly but they rose and fought each other 37F#m times again
And the Blegends all agreed that AGallo Del BCielo he fought the Ebest
ENow the cries of Saragosa filled the night outside the town of SaF#mnta Clara
As the beBak of Del Cielo lay broken like a shell within his hEand
And they Esay that Saragosa screamed a curse upon the bones of PanF#mcho Villa
As ZBorro rose up one more time anAd drove BDel Cielo iEn the sand
[Chorus/Outro]
AHola my Teresa I'm thinkin of you now in San FrEancisco
I have noF#m money in my pocket I no longer have your good luck fraEmed in gold
I Aburied it last evening with the bones of my beloved Del CiEelo
I F#mwill not return to buy the laAnd that VBilla stole long Eago
ADo the rivers still run muddy outside of my beloved Casas EGrandes?
Does the F#mscar upon my brother's face turn red when he hears mention of my
naEme?
And do the Apeople of El Sueco still curse the theft of Gallo Del ECielo?
Tell my F#mfamily not to worry, I Awill not reBturn to cause them Eshame.
