[Verse 1]
C                    
Across the alley from the Alamo lived a pinto pony and a Navajo.
G7                                        Dm7    G7      C
Who sang a sort of Indian Hi-de-ho to the people passing by. 
    C                      
The pinto spent his time a swishing flies. The Navajo watched the lazy skies.
G7                                               Dm7    G7      C
Very rarely did they ever rest their eyes on the people passing by. 
    F               C         F                C
One day they went a walkin' along the railroad track. 
          D7            Am           D7                    G7
They were swishing' not lookin' Toot toot, they never came back. 
C                                  
Across the alley from the Alamo when the summer sun decides to settle low,
  G7                                Dm7    G7      C
a fly sings an Indian Hideho to the people passing by.

Across the alley from the Alamo lived a pinto pony and a Navajo,
    G7                                              Dm7    G7      C
who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough for the people passing by. 
     C                                   
They thought that they would make some easy bucks
 C                  
if they washed their frijoles in Duz and Lux. 
  G7                                       Dm7    G7      C
A pair of very conscientious clucks to the people passing by. 
          F               C               F                   C
Then they took this cheap vacation. Their shoes were polished bright.
        D7               Am           D7                         G7
No they never heard the whistle. Toot Toot, they're clear out of sight. 
C
Across the alley from the Alamo, 
C
when the starlight beams its tender tender glow, 
    G7                                                 Dm7    G7      C
the beams go to sleep and there ain't no dough for the people passing by.  
C          G7             C
Across the Alley From The Alamo
