A hundred dollar[C]s over the border
A thousand miles out of my [G7]mind
Oh what was I thinking
Thinking I could drink all that Mexican [C]wine
And who in the world is this woman
I've never seen her [F]before
But I've got a feeling [C]that she's got a husband
[G7]Someone just kicked down the [C]door
Better run for the [G7]border
He's never gonna under[C]stand
Better find a [F]place to hide
On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande
Jose he's tall dark and handsome
She said as she reached for her [G7]cloths
But he's mean as a snake
When his woman you take right from under his [C]nose
I said this is a great time to tell me
She said I thought he was in [F]jail
Well I'm Jose's wife [C]Jose's got a knife
[G7]And Jose is hot on your [C]trail
Better run for the [G7]border
Jose he is a dangerous [C]man
Better find a [F]place to hide
On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande
So I ran through the streets of Laredo
Naked as the day I was [G7]born
People were staring and clapping
And laughing and honking their [C]horns
As I passed a church on the corner
I thought about stopping to [F]pray
Then a voice from the blue [C]said I'll watch over you
[G7]But we'd better stay ahead of [C]Jose
Better run for the [G7]border
Jose he is a dangerous [C]man
Better find a [F]place to hide
On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande
Better run for the [G7]border
Jose will never under[C]stand
Better find a [F]place to hide
On the [G7]other side of the Rio [C]Grande
A thousand miles out of my [G7]mind
Oh what was I thinking
Thinking I could drink all that Mexican [C]wine
And who in the world is this woman
