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 güeros in the north d**h 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 [Bridge] Money's a treacherous companion And that's why I spend mine with ease On women and friends, to smoothen the bends Yeah, I keep just the little I need They say that my pets bring but pain and regrets And then they ask me to pa** them a booster It's the greatest of men who come again and again To my parrot, my goat and my rooster [Outro]
