Mercenary Song — Steve Earle

Me and bill there we both come from georgia

Met hank out in new mexico

Were bound for duranqo to join pancho villa

We hear that hes payin in gold

I guess a mans got to do what hes best at

Aint found nothin better so far

Been called mercenaries and men with no country

Just soldiers in search of a war

Chorus

And were bound for the border

Were soldiers of fortune

And well fight for no country but well die for good pay

Under the flag of of the greenback dollar

Or the peso down mexico way

When this war is over might go back to georgia

And settle down quiet some where

Ill most likely pack up and head south for chile

Heard tell theres some trouble down there
