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

[Verse 2] Across the alley from the Alamo lived a pinto pony and
G7
a Navajo, who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough for the
Dm7 G7 C
people passing by. They thought that they would make some easy
G7
bucks if they washed their frijoles in Duz and Lux. A pair of
Dm7 G7 C
very conscientious clucks to the people passing by. Then they
F C F C
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, when the starlight beams its tender glow,
G7 Dm7
the beams go to sleep and there ain't no dough for the people
G7 C G7 C
passing by. Across the A-l-l-e-y From The Alamo
