Lyrics Mexico - Remastered Live Version - James Taylor
In
fifteen
hundred
and
eighty
we
sailed
our
little
ship
Around
the
coast
of
Africa
down
the
Gaza
strip
We
took
some
salty
bacon
and
a
hammock
for
a
bed
Then
we
mixed
it
with
the
Spaniards
in
the
middle
of
the
Med
Well
we
hired
our
funds
saw
the
pretty
girls
a
comin'
There
wasn't
quite
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago
We
hired
some
more
and
then
we
started
runnin'
All
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico
Well
Francis
Drake
said
if
you
really
want
a
fight
The
best
thing
is
to
catch
them
in
the
middle
of
the
night
We
hoisted
anchor
and
powdered
up
the
gun
Then
we
sailed
around
in
circles
and
just
waited
for
the
fun
Well
we
hired
our
funds
saw
the
pretty
girls
a
comin'
There
wasn't
quite
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago
We
hired
some
more
and
then
we
started
runnin'
All
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico
Yeah,
yeah
Mexico
yea
yeah
Yeah,
yeah
Mexico
yea
yeah
Yeah,
yeah
Mexico
yea
yeah
Oh
oh
Mexico
yea
yeah
Oh
oh
oh
Mexico
Oh
oh
oh
M-E-X-I-C-O
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico
Well
cannon
balls
flew
and
the
ship
began
to
sink
The
water
started
risin'
so
we
really
had
to
think
And
then
by
chance
stood
a
man
as
black
as
coal
So
we
grabbed
him
by
the
trousers
and
we
plugged
him
in
the
hole
Well
we
hired
our
funds
saw
the
pretty
girls
a
comin'
There
wasn't
quite
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago
We
hired
some
more
and
then
we
started
runnin'
All
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico,
Mexico
Well
we
fired
from
the
side
port
and
we
fired
from
the
back
And
then
we
fired
from
the
galley
and
through
every
little
crack
We
fired
so
much
that
the
cook
started
cooking
Didn't
have
to
worry
so
we
flew
the
Union
Jack
Well
we
hired
our
funds
saw
the
pretty
girls
a
comin'
There
wasn't
quite
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago
We
hired
some
more
and
then
we
started
runnin'
All
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Well
we
hired
our
funds
saw
the
pretty
girls
a
comin'
There
wasn't
quite
as
many
as
there
was
a

We

we
started

Well
we
