The Mills Brothers - Across the Alley From the Alamo lyrics

Across the alley from the Alamo Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people pa**in' by The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies And the Navajo watched the lazy skies And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes On the people pa**in' by One day, they went a-walkin' Along the railroad track They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot, toot, they never came back Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the summer sun decides to settle low A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people pa**in' by Across the alley from the Alamo Lived a pinto a-pony and a Navajo Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough For the people pa**in' by They thought that they would make some easy bucks By washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux A pair of very conscientious clucks To the people pa**in' by Then they took this cheap vacation Their shoes were polished bright Though they never heard the whistle Toot, toot, they're clear out of sight Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the starlight beams its tender glow The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough For the people pa**in' by One day, they went a-walkin' Along the railroad track They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot, toot, they never came back Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the summer sun decides to settle low A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people pa**in' by Across the alley from the Alamo
