BINTANGS - TRAVELLING IN THE USA
(A. Kraayeveld)
Decca 10 416

Hard to live on one buck a day
We were travelling in the USA
We were travelling in the USA

My wife's son was two years of age
We were joining the United States
We were joining the United States

I had to borrow some money from a muddy bloody pig
I'd never met the man before
He said: "Hi ho kid, if I may have your wife
You can keep the money, even more
And you can sell her son for a damned high price
If you travel on to Mexico
And you can borrow my car, a Mustang 66
With a brand new radio"

Hard to live on one buck a day
We were travelling in the USA
We were travelling in the USA

So I went down to the border of Mexico
And made a deal with a Mexican cat
He said: "Hi ho kid, if I may have your son
You can keep the money, I'll be glad"

Hard to live on one buck a day
We were travelling in the USA
We were travelling in the USA

My wife's son was two years of age
We were joining the United States
We were joining the United States
