  Down  the road a ways i've heard said a new  day's coming on
  Where the women  folks are friendly and the law  leaves you alone
  I'll believe it when i see it and i haven't  seen it yet
  Don't mind me  just keep on talking i'm just looking  for my hat
  There ain't  no God in Mexico,ain't no way  to understand
  How that border crossing feeling makes afool out of a man
  If i'd never felt the sunshine then i would  not curse the rain
  If my feet could fit a railroad track,i guess i'd been a train
  Me  and Louise Higgins-Botham used to chase  across the yard
  Back in 1947  that's when more  than times were hard
  Well pity me i didn't find the line in time  like a fool
  In front of God  and everybody i politely  blew my cool
  Ain't no God  in Mexico,ain't no comfort  in the king
  When you're down in Madamoris getting busted by the man
  If i'd never felt the sunshine,Hell i would  not curse the rain
  If i hadn't been railroaded well i guess i'd been a train

D[D]own the road a ways i've heard said a n[E]ew day's coming on
        Where the w[A]omen folks are friendly and the l[D]aw leaves you alone
        I'll believe it when i see it and i h[E]aven't seen it yet
        Don't mind [B]me just keep on talking i'm just l[E]ooking for my hat

        There ai[A]n't no God in Mexico,ain't no [E]way to understand
        How that border crossing feeling makes afool out of a m[A]an
        If i'd never felt the sunshine then i w[E]ould not curse the rain
        If my feet could fit a railroad track,i guess i'd been a tr[A]ain

        M[D]e and Louise Higgins-Botham used to ch[E]ase across the yard
        Back in 1[A]947 that's when mo[D]re than times were hard
        Well pity me i didn't find the line in t[E]ime like a fool
        In front of G[B]od and everybody i pol[E]itely blew my cool

        Ain't no G[A]od in Mexico,ain't no c[E]omfort in the king
        When you're down in Madamoris getting busted by the m[A]an
        If i'd never felt the sunshine,Hell i w[E]ould not curse the rain
        If i hadn't been railroaded well i guess i'd been a tr[A]ain
