Paco And The Pistol

Oh the people are coming All from the dark But there's only shadows You're running from And I cried, how long, how long, how long Now Johnny picked up his shotgun And Paco his pistol And out in the dark I held the bottle And I was lit up, lit up, by a candle Now Johnny let out a shot Into the dark And I hit the ground And Paco crouched on my shoulder And I cried, how long, how long, how long And Johnny came back around All from the dark Said there's only shadows And the wind on the ground And he cried, how long, how long, how long Now the boy was a soldier Fresh from the war He lost his family All that he had fought for He cried, how long, how long, how long Now Paco put back his pistol He said I don't know how long Said these things just happen For the boy so young He cried, how long, how long, how long
