Hey Gringo lyrics

Hey Gringo

Why you got me tied and hound?

I gotta crop to keep my family

You tell me burn it to the ground

Hey Gringo

Help me try to understand

You got so many paper dollars

Why do you need my piece of land?

Hey Gringo

Hey Gringo

Hey Gringo

Why you do this I don't know

Why don't you give me fair price for my labour?

Then what you want I will grow

Hey Gringo

Now my children have no doctor

My mother needs some pill

My wife has no painkiller

And I hear her cry out still

When you find that at the end of life

You scared what comes to you

Well God is going to ask you

What good did you ever do?

Hey Gringo

Hey Gringo

Oh there's enough why can't we share?

Hey Gringo

I only ask for what is fair

Hey Gringo

Well the next time you turn around

Hey Gringo

Maybe God will gun you down

Hey Gringо
