Across The Alley From The Alamo 
Recorded by - Asleep At The Wheel, Ray Benson

  G
Across the alley from the Alamo  Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
     D7                                    Am7     D7     G
Who sang a sort of Indian Hi-de-ho  To the people passing by
  G    
The pinto spent his time a switchin' flies and the Navajo watched the lazy skies
     D7                                               Am7     D7     G
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes  On the people passing by
   C                G       C                 G
One day they went a walkin' along the railroad track
          Em            A7        N/C                           D7
They were swishin' not lookin'  toot-toot, they never came back
  G
Across the alley from the Alamo when the summer sun decides to settle low
 D7                                   Am7     D7     G
A fly sings an Indian Hi-de-ho to the people passing by

Instrumental Break
 G 
Across the alley from the Alamo lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
     D7                                              Am7    D7     G
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough for the people passing by
 G
They thought that they would make some easy bucks if they're washin' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
  D7                                        Am7   D7      G
A pair of very conscientious clucks on the people passing by

 
          C                G              C                   G
Then they took this cheap vacation their shoes were polished bright
         Em               A7      N/C                              D7
No they never heard the whistle, Toot toot, they're clear out of sight
  G
Across the alley from the Alamo when the starlight beams its tender glow
   D7                                                  Am7    D7      G
The beams go to sleep and there ain't no dough for the people passing by
            C       D7     G
Across the alley, from the Alamo
