Mercenary Song by Steve Earle Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia Met Hank down in We're bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa We hear that he's gold I guess a man's got to do what he's best at Ain't found nothing better so far Been called mercenaries and men with no country Just soldiers in search of a war We're bound for the border We're soldiers of fortune We'll fight for no country But we'll die for good pay greenback dollar Or the peso down When this way is over, I might go back to Georgia And settle down quiet somewhere I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile Hear tell there's some trouble down there REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
