4 Aces

On a midnight train to Laredo
 Four aces stepped aboard
 Gonna find Laredo Rose
 And find out who she chose
 She's in love with a bearded singer
 Come from Texas way
 Said his name was Willie
 And I don't mean "Say Hey"
 One had an accordion in his left
 A cold beer in his right
 One was a hippie
 Completely out of sight
 One was a border singer
 From San Benito they say
 One had a pony tail
 They shuffled in alone that day
 Four aces goin' nowhere
 Ridin' gently toward the sun
 Four aces goin' nowhere
 Never meant to hurt no one
 Willie sought but he could not find her
 'Cause Zimmy was in town
 He's drinkin' at the cantina
 He ordered up another round
 This vato went down for his pistola
 We all thought we were dead
 But as luck would have it
 Entered one grateful Fred
 Four aces goin' nowhere
 Ridin' gently toward the sun
 Four aces goin' nowhere
 Never meant to hurt no one
 Crazy
 Tale of the Texas story
 Is read quite well by all
 This border queen had somethin'
 That made these hombres fall
 Like strings of a sweet corrido
 The story is the same
 She just won a bundle
 On the Texas Lotto game
 Four aces goin' nowhere
 Ridin' gently toward the sun
 Four aces goin' nowhere
 Never meant to hurt no one
