Steve Earle — Mercenary Song

[Verse 1] Me and old 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 paying in 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] And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune Well, 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 [Verse 2] When this war is over might go back to Georgia And settle down quiet somewhere I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile Heard tell of some trouble down there [Chorus] And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune Well, 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
