mills brothers - across the alley from the alamo lyrics

Loading...

across the alley from the alamo
the mills brothers
written by joe greene

peaked at # 7 in 1947
competing versions charted by stan kenton (#11) and woody herman (#12)

across the alley from the alamo
lived a pinto pony and a navajo
who sang a sort of indian “hi-de-ho”
to the people p-ssin’ by

the pinto spent his time a-swishin’ flies
and the navajo watched the lazy skies
and very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
on the people p-ssin’ by

one day, they went a walkin’ along the railroad track
they were swishin’ not a-lookin’ toot! toot!, they never came back

oh, across the alley from the alamo
when the summer sun decides to settle low
a fly sings an indian “hi-de-ho”
to the people p-ssing by

across the alley from the alamo
lived a pinto pony and a navajo
who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
for the people p-ssing by

they thought that they would make some easy bucks
by washin’ their frijoles in duz and lux,
a pair of very conscientious clucks
to the people p-ssin’ by

then they took this cheap vacation, their shoes were polished bright
no, they never heard the whistle, toot! toot! they’re clear out of sight

oh, across the alley from the alamo
when the starlight beams its tender glow
the beams go to sleep and then there ain’t no dough
for the people p-ssin’ by

one day, they went a walkin’ along the railroad track
they were swishin’ not a-lookin’ toot! toot!, they never came back

oh, across the alley from the alamo
when the summer sun decides to settle low
a fly sings an indian “hi-de-ho”
to the people p-ssin’ by

across the alley from the alamo
