A
Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia
    E                    A 
Met Hank down in New Mexico
      A
We're bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa
   E                          A
We hear that he's paying with gold


I guess a man's got to do what he's best at
Ain't found nothing better so far
Been called mercenaries and men with no country
Just soldiers in search of a war


Chorus:
      D
We're bound for the border
      A
We're soldiers of fortune
      E
We'll fight for no country
                       A 
But we'll die for good pay
D                     A
Under the flag of the greenback dollar
       E                A
Or the peso down Mexico way


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

Chorus

Chorus

Under the flag of a greenback dollar
Or a peso down Mexico way
