Paroles de Parrot, Goat And Rooster

My parrot, my goat and my rooster The finest of pets that you’ll find With them I bring joy wherever I go And make some to make things go round To New Mexico and Arkansas And even to Illinois’ shores I sell off my kids to the highest bid And then I return home for more I grew up to thrive among horses And I do not deny I was poor Now my name is known throughout the plains And among the gueros in the north Death rides ever by my side And the high lords far behind For where there’s will there’ll be a way And my ways are hard to find Money’s a treacherous companion And that’s why I spend mine with ease On women and friends, to smoothen the bends I keep just the little I need They say that my pets bring but pain and regrets And then they ask me to pass them a booster It’s the greatest of men who come again and again To my parrot, my goat and my rooster
