Lyrics
Chorus:
They’re on their way to Mexico
Just see those Yankee fighters, foe exciters
Gettin’ ready to go
They’re on their way to win the day
Just take a look at those Yankee brothers
Waving to their grey hair’d mothers
Goodbye, they’re leaving
Goodbye, stop grieving
Don’t cry, they’re glad to go
They’ll make them run like a herd of cattle
They’ll know they’ve had some battle
Way down in Mexico
Performance
