El Borracho

One night I was so wasted
Thinking I was the big shot
With a girl, maybe
I just wanted to have some fun
Not knowing that her dad
Was right there in the yard
Hearing the nonsense
That this drunk was shouting
Hearing the nonsense
That this drunk was shouting

Good evening, miss
How's it going around here?
I came to pay you a visit
That I promised long ago
Give me the scoop on your brother
Give me the scoop on your folks
'Cause I came to talk to them
To ask for your hand
Oh, tonight I'm taking her away
Even if the devil takes me
Oh, tonight I'm taking her away
Even if the devil takes me

Good evening, sir
I answered respectfully
I want you to keep in mind
That I have a better boyfriend
That my brother and my dad
Are right there in the yard
And they've been listening for a while
And they're coming armed over here
Oh, when I saw it was true
There was no drink left for the drunk
Oh, when I saw it was true
There was no drink left for the drunk
