[Verse 1]
G
This old Mexican cowboy at the bar
D
Looked a hundred years old
Em
He had a million dollar smile
C
And his withered brown skin shimmered like California gold
G                   D
He said, "I'm a little short on cash, but I'm long on life"
Em              C
"For a shot of tequila, I'll give you some dang good advice"

[Chorus 1]
G
He said, "Don't leave your beer in the hot Texas sun"
D
"Don't argue with a woman while she's holding a gun"
Em
"Never cheat when it comes to love or dominoes"
C
"Vaya con dios" said the old vaquero

[Verse 2]
G
Well my heart sank
D
The more he drank, the more he poured out his misery
Em
How he lost her after forty seven years
C
And his tears started flowing like the Rio Grand-e
G                   D
He started speaking in Spanish then he kissed his rosary
Em              C
Said "Por siempre mi amor", his one more to her memory

[Chorus 2]
G
He said, "Don't live you life like a sad country song"
D
"A fool on a stool is still a stool, right or wrong"
Em
"Pride is a bandito breaking hearts as he goes"
C
"Vaya con dios" said the old vaquero
[Verse 3]
G
I walked over to the corner, turned the old jukebox on
D
When I turned back around like a ghost he was gone
Em
So I paid his tab, called a cab, called it a night
C
And came straight home to you
G
As we laid there in bed I told you all the things he said
D
We laughed, we cried, and I held you the whole night through
Em
You know I think of him often, out there all alone
C
Maybe he was an angel, or just an old man from San Anton

[Chorus 1]
G
He said, "Don't leave your beer in the hot Texas sun"
D
"Don't argue with a woman while she's holding a gun"
Em
"Never cheat when it comes to love or dominoes"
C
"Vaya con dios"

[Chorus 2]
G
He said, "Don't live you life like a sad country song"
D
"A fool on a stool is still a stool, right or wrong"
Em
"Pride is a bandito breaking hearts as he goes"
C
"Vaya con dios" said the old vaquero

He said, "Vaya con dios"
