Mercenary Song lyrics by Steve Earle

Me and Bill there we both come from Georgia
Met Hank out in New Mexico
We're bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa
We hear that he's payin' in gold

I guess a man's got to do what he's best at
Ain't found nothin' better so far
Been called mercenaries and men with no country
Just soldiers in search of a war

And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune
We'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
Or the Peso down Mexico way

When this war is over might go back to Georgia
And settle down quiet some where
I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile
Heard tell there's some trouble down there


And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune
We'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
Or the Peso down Mexico way

And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune
We'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
Or the Peso down Mexico way

And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune
We'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
Or the Peso down Mexico way
