Lyrics

Poncho worked in a barroom
Long and tall and slim
Mama got all googly-eyed
And she fell in love with him
She'd left out Mississippi
When she was just thirteen
Wound up pregnant in New Orleans
Not yet quite fifteen
Poncho was a jealous man
Tended towards suspicious
But he mixed up a mean daiquiri
Which was always delicious
Oh Poncho
Why you do that lady wrong?
Ain't all fair in love and war
Keep your big hands off my mom
Oh Poncho
Oh Poncho
Why you do that lady wrong?
Mama had seven children
All with different men
The daddies never stayed around long
But sometimes would sneak back in
Poncho was the first of them
Some say he was the worst
When Poncho come back again
He drank and smacked and cursed
I woke up early morning
It was still as dark as night
I'd gone to my bed hungry
But I woke up with a fright
Heard my mama screaming
"Get out of my place"
Poncho, he'd come back again
Then he punched my mama's face
Poncho promised he'd be good
But some promises are lies
That's why I had to shoot that man
Right between the eyes
Oh Poncho
Why you do that lady wrong?
Ain't all fair in love and war
Keep your big hands off my mom
Oh Poncho
Oh Poncho
Why you do that lady wrong?
Oh Poncho
Why you do that lady wrong?
I wouldn't have to shoot you
But ain't no man hurt my mom
Oh Poncho
You done my mama wrong
Ain't glad I'm locked up in here
But I'm glad you're dead and gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
