Pancho Lopez

Pancho Lopez

Born in Chihuahua in '06
On a mat beneath a cypress tree
By age two, he spoke English
Killed two men when he was three

Pancho, Pancho Lopez
Small but a badass

At four, he could sing a tune
Play guitar and dance too
From thirty yards, he could hit
A bug in the eye without a sight

Pancho, Pancho Lopez
He went off to the revolution

At five, he could ride a horse
Knew how to fire a gun
His dad let him smoke a bit
And he'd get drunk on cheap tequila

Pancho, Pancho Lopez
Small but a badass

At six, he fell in love
Then at seven, he got hitched
And what had to happen, happened
By eight, his dad was gone

Pancho, Pancho Lopez
Brave as a lion

And here the story ends
'Cause at nine, Pancho died
The moral of the story is
Don't live your life too fast

Pancho, Pancho Lopez
You lived like a whirlwind
