Listen close to this crooked mouth
C G7
For my story I will tell-o
C F G F G C
Lived in Mexico by the name of Wenseslao Moguel-o

Stand me straight against the nearest wall

Bullet holes all across my chest

And left me there for dead-o
C F G
All went quiet so I crawled away

And lived to tell my story
C F G
Stand me straight against the nearest wall

Line up your bravest soldiers oh

Ten good shots I'll take them all

They call me El Fusilado
