lyrics

Oh my eyes have seen as long as they could and more
Oh my eyes have seen as long as they Could and more
For i am the endless traveller and im a thousand years old
For i am the endless traveller and im a thousand years old

Yo tengo un burrito que se llama Ricky
Yo tengo un burrito que se llama Ricky
Y cuando mi Ricky pasa las mulas dicen “chiki chiki”
Y cuando my Ricky pasa las mulas dicen “chiki chiki”

I have many wives and i have many children
I have many wives and i have many children
Cuz i’ve layed my love in each and every city
Because i’ve layed my love in each and every city

And each wife has been a master and a teacher
And each wife has been a master and a teacher
And each children she gave me an extention of our freedom
And each children she gave me a reflection of our freedom

And i do the land like no other man
And i do the land like no other man
Cuz with each step i’m taking im telling her here i am
Cuz with each step i’m taking im telling her here i am

When i build my house i build it brick by brick
When i build my house i build it brick by brick
I put one on the bottom and one on top of it
I put one on the bottom and one on top of it

And everybody tells me lately que yo ´toy enamorao
And everybody tells me lately que yo ´toy enamorao
Because i get myself pretty everytime i go to pray
Because i get myself pretty everytime i go to pray

And i pray for mommy and i pray for Chichi
And i pray for mommy and i pray for Chichi
Cuz my fathers are gone and they never had it so easy
Cuz my fathers are gone and they never had it so easy

When i go and join them you put in my grave
When i go and join them you put in my grave
Herein lies the rests of a grateful and simple man
Herein lies the rests of a grateful and simple man
