           B         E 
Dal e mi soula, y me incuerdo 
B              E 
Did you see my family? 
B              E 
We had a sweet simple glory

We had a gallant who works for me 

PAUSE 



A    E 
For I was once an immortal 
             B     A  E 
With General Walker's gringo army 
A      E 
Yeah, I was once an immortal 
             B     A  E 
With William Walker's gringo army 

Must be seven years that I followed him 
All across the southern sea 
And I never thought I'd hear the hammer 
Beating on the iron of slavery 

For I was once an immortal 
With General Walker's gringo army 
Yeah, I was once an immortal 
With William Walker's gringo army 

Yeah, I hear the horrors go to the barricade 
You're going hungry without any guns 
So senorita for the last time now 
Share some love with the unknown one 

For I was once an immortal 
With General Walker's gringo army 
Yeah, I was once an immortal 
With William Walker's gringo army 

Yeah, I thinkin' on immortal 
In William Walker's gringo army
