Tampico

Ich war ein Tramp unter vielen Vagabunden
Wir war'n zu Haus in Steppe und Prärie
Wir war'n verraten
Zerlumpt und zerschunden
Doch der Tequilla
Der fehlte uns nie
Am Lagerfeuer
Da spielten Trompeten
Wir waren frei
Die Welt war groß und schön
Wir hatten nie viele Dollars und Peseten
Doch dafür hab'n wir so manches geseh'n
Die Welt ist schön
Es gibt so viel zu seh'n!
Die Caballeros tragen Sombreros
In Tampico
Die Senoritas
Die tragen nie was
In Tampico
Drum komm' ich wieder
Ja
Immer wieder nach Tampico
Nie schien die Sonne so heiß wie in Tampico
Viva
Viva Mexico
Nie schien die Sonne so heiß wie in Tampico
Tam-Tam-Tam-pi-co
Ich bin erst wieder froh
Reit' ich durch Tampico
Tam-Tam-Tam-pi-co
Am Mississippi
Da gab es Piraten
Bei denen machten wir drei Tage Rast
Wir zahlten Whisky mit blanken Dukaten
Wir war'n bei Bettlern und König'n zu Gast
Wir waren frei
Denn wir war'n Vagabunden
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
Kann uns versteh'n
Wir haben nie eine Heimat gefunden
Doch dafür haben die Welt wir geseh'n
