A HUNDRED DOLLARS
OVER THE BORDER
A THOUSAND MILES
OUT OF MY MIND
OH WHAT WAS I THINKIN'
THINKIN' I COULD DRINK
ALL THAT MEXICAN WINE
AND WHO IN THE WORLD
IS THIS WOMAN
I'VE NEVER
SEEN HER BEFORE
BUT I'VE GOT A FEELIN'
THAT SHE'S GOT
A HUSBAND
SOMEONE JUST
KICKED DOWN THE DOOR
BETTER RUN
FOR THE BORDER
HE'S NEVER GONNA
UNDERSTAND
BETTER FIND
A PLACE TO HIDE
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE RIO GRANDE
JOSE'S TALL
DARK AND HANDSOME
SHE SAID
AS SHE REACHED
FOR HER CLOTHES
BUT HE'S
MEAN AS A SNAKE
WHEN HIS WOMAN
YOU TAKE
RIGHT FROM
UNDER HIS NOSE
I SAID
THIS IS A GREAT TIME
TO TELL ME
SHE SAID
I THOUGHT
HE WAS IN JAIL
WELL I'M JOSE'S WIFE
JOSE'S GOT A KNIFE
AND JOSE IS HOT
ON YOUR TRAIL
BETTER RUN
FOR THE BORDER
JOSE
HE'S A DANGEROUS MAN
BETTER FIND
A PLACE TO HIDE
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE RIO GRANDE
SO I RAN THROUGH
THE STREETS OF LAREDO
NAKED AS
THE DAY I WAS BORN
PEOPLE WERE STARIN'
AND CLAPPIN'
AND LAUGHIN' AND
HONKIN' THEIR HORNS
AS I PASSED THE CHURCH
ON THE CORNER
I THOUGHT ABOUT
STOPPIN' TO PRAY
THEN A VOICE
FROM THE BLUE SAID
I'LL WATCH OVER YOU BUT
WE'D BETTER
STAY AHEAD OF JOSE
BETTER RUN
FOR THE BORDER
JOSE
HE'S A DANGEROUS MAN
BETTER FIND
A PLACE TO HIDE
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE RIO GRANDE
BETTER RUN
FOR THE BORDER
JOSE WILL NEVER
UNDERSTAND
BETTER FIND
A PLACE TO HIDE
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE RIO GRANDE
BETTER RUN
FOR THE BORDER
JOSE
HE IS A DANGEROUS MAN
BETTER FIND
A PLACE TO HIDE
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE RIO GRANDE
