Hank Thompson
Across The Alley From The Alamo
[Verse 1]
Well 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 passing by

[Verse 2]
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 passing by

[Chorus]
One day they went out a walkin'
Along the railroad track
They were swishin', not lookin'
They never came back

[Verse 3]
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 passing by

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
One day they went out a walkin'
Along the railroad track
They were swishin', not lookin'
They never came back

[Verse 3]
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 passing by
To the people passing by
(Across the alley from the Alamo)
