Okay, so for those of you who don't know, the Sir Douglas Quintet was my father Doug's song and Augie Meyer's band.
They had hits in the 60s.
Yeah, right on.
They had hits in the 60s.
We're gonna get, we're gonna cover all that tonight, [G] right?
But this song we're gonna do right [Ab] here, to me, is a forerunner [A] of Tex-Mex.
This is called Duevo [C] Laredo from 1970, the Sir Douglas [E] Quintet.
[D]
In a little border town
Way down there in Duevo, [A] Laredo, Mexico
Smiling, sederine
With a broken locker to fill
Way [D] to boys town
Smoke and drink the night away
In a Brazilian lit cafe
Long hair was the novelty
To [A] the people that grown and sing Big summer
Everybody sing
We had such [A] a fun
[D]
Duevo Laredo Duevo Laredo Duevo Laredo
I [A] hear you callin'
That [G] ain't the time
[D]
[A]
[D] [D] Cuando yo me fui de aquí
Cuando yo me llevo a [A] Duevo Laredo
Y si el tiempo no viene
No me voy ni de [D] Duevo Laredo
Sittin' on an old barn door
Lookin' like nobody
I said see what's [A] gonna go on
Home with me
In a great big catamaran
Six foot three
That my daddy's calling
As I up to
