Honoring Warren Zevon (R.I.P. September 7, 2003) -- Excitable Boy, Werewolf of London and Bring Lawyers, Guns and Money all came to mind-- but, how can I resist The U.S. Invasion of Veracruz, Mexico? I heard Woodrow Wilsons guns I heard Maria crying Late last night I heard the news That Veracruz was dying Veracruz was dying Someone called Marias name I swear it was my fathers voice Saying, If you stay youll all be slain You must leave now - you have no choice Take the servants and ride west Keep the child close to your chest When the American troops withdraw Let Zapata take the rest I heard Woodrow Wilsons guns I heard Maria calling Saying, Veracruz is dying And Cuernavacas falling Aquel dia yo jure [On that day I swore] Hacia el puerto volvere [To the port I will return] Aunque el destino cambio mi vida [Even though destiny changed my life] En Veracruz morire [In Veracruz I shall die] Aquel dia yo jure [On that day I swore] I heard Woodrow Wilsons guns I heard them in the harbor Saying, Veracruz is dying Thanks for the heads up, Kevin Swan
