Across the Alley From the Alamo

Across the alley from the Al - a - mo Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo Who sang a sort of In - di - an "Hi - de - ho" To the peo - ple pas - sin' by. The pinto spent his time a - swish - in' flies And the Nav - a - jo watched the la - zy skies And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes On the peo - ple pas - sin' by. Bridge 1: One day, they went a walk - in' - long the rail - road track; They were swish - in' not a - look - in' -- Toot! Toot! -- they never came back. Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo When the summer sun decides to set - tle low A fly sings an In - di - an "Hi - de - ho" To the peo - ple pass - ing by. Across the alley from the Al - a - mo Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo Who used to bake fri - jo - les in corn - meal dough For the peo - ple pass - ing by. They thought that they would make some ea - sy bucks By washin' their fri - jo - les in Duz and Lux, A pair of very con - sci - en - tious clucks To the peo - ple pass - in' by. Bridge 2: Then they took this cheap va - ca - tion, Their shoes were pol - ished bright; No, they never heard the whistle-- Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo, When the starlight beams its ten - der glow, The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough For the peo - ple pass - in' by. Bridge 3: One day, they went a walkin' - long the rail - road track; They were swishin' not a-lookin'-- Toot! Toot!, they never came back. Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo When the summer sun decides to set - tle low A fly sings an In - di - an "Hi - de - ho" To the peo - ple pass - in' by. Coda: Across the alley from the Al - a - mo.
