Tampico Trauma - Live

Lyrics

1977
 I must look a mess I must admit
 But I have been travelling quite a bit
 South of the Border
 Where the law and order
 Is kept by Federales who just grin
 And tell you they just want to be your friend
 I left for Tampico last July
 I jumped off that boat I almost died
 There to greet us
 Were pretty senoritas
 I swore that I would not go home then
 All those lovely ladies were my friends
 Whoa, those sweet chiquitas they don't pretend
 -- Spoken: "Como esta, Capitain..."
 That is all I really want to say
 I was thrown out of the country yesterday
 See I was, drinkin' double
 Causin' lots of trouble
 When the man looked in the window of the bar and he grinned
 And said, "If you come back we just may not be your friend"
 "I don't want to see you 'round here again"
 "If you come back next time we may not..." (Hidy ho' boys!)
