D                                     E
        Down the road a ways i've heard say a new day's comin' on
                   A                                D
        Where the women folks are friendly and the law leaves you alone
                                             E
        I'll believe it when i see it and i haven't seen it yet
                   B                               E
        Don't mind me,keep on talking i'm just looking for my hat


[Chorus 1]
                  A                             E
        Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no way to understand
                                                                 A
        How that border crosswind feelin' makes a fool out of a man
                                              E
        If i never felt the sunshine hell i would not curse the rain
                                                                   A
        If my feet could fit a railroad track,i guess i'd been a train


[Verse 2]
         D                                    E
        Me and Louie,Zig and Bobby  used to chase across the yard
                 A                 D
        Back in 1947 that's when more than times was hard
                                                  E
        Pity me i didn't find a line in time and like a fool
                     B                     E
        In front of God and everybody i politely blew my cool


[Chorus 2]
                  A                      E
        Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no comfort in the cane
                                                             A
        When you're down in Madamoros gettin' busted by the man
                                               E
        If i'd never felt the sunshine,hell i would not curse the rain
                                                                   A
        If my feet could fit a railroad track i guess i'd been a train
