Mercenary Song Lyrics - Steve Earle

Me and ol' Bill there we both come from Georgia 

Met Hank out in New Mexico 

We're bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa 

We hear that he's payin' in gold 

I guess a man's got to do what he's best at 

Ain't found nothin' better so far 

Been called mercenaries and men with no country 

Just soldiers in search of a war 

And we're bound for the border 

We're soldiers of fortune 

And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay 

Under the flag of of the greenback dollar 

Or the peso down Mexico way

When this war is over might go back to Georgia 

And settle down quiet some where 

I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile 

Heard tell of some trouble down there 

And we're bound for the border 

We're soldiers of fortune 

And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay 

Under the flag of of the greenback dollar 

Or the peso down Mexico way 

And we're bound for the border 

We're soldiers of fortune 

And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay 

Under the flag of of the greenback dollar 

Or the peso down Mexico way
