Hello one and all

Was it you I used to know

Can't you hear me call

On this old ham radio

All I got to say

I'm alive and feeling fine

Should you come my way

You can share my poison wine

No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know

I won't take your bread

I don't need no helping hand

I can't be no savage

I can't be no highwayman

Show me where you are

You and I will spend this day

Driving in my car

Through the ruins of Santa Fe

No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world
As far as I know

I'm reading last year's papers

Although I don't know why

Assassins, cons and rapers

Might as well die

When you come around

No more pain and no regrets

Watch the sun go brown

Smoking cobalt cigarettes

There's no need to hide

Taking things the easy way

If I stay inside

I might live 'till Saturday

No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the Rio Grande
Is the king of the world

King of the world

As far as I know
