[Verse 1]
Salvador Sanchez
Arrived and vanished
Only twenty-three with so much speed
Ownin' the highway
[Verse 2]
Mexico City
Bred so many
But none quite like him, sweet warrior
Pure magic matador
[Verse 3]
Pancho Villa
Would never rest
'Til 1925, he closed his eyes
Two Manila stars would rise
[Verse 4]
Ghost of the Philippines
Choirs and angels sing
Ukelele strings play for his legend
Ilolio king
[Chorus]
How have they gone?
Fell by leather
All alone
And bound together
[Verse 5]
Benny "Kid" Paret
Came a good way
Climbed to gray skies to lift his hands
Stopped by the better man
[Verse 6]
Eyes of Las Villas
Cry for sons
Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
Struck and delivered him
[Chorus]
Where have they gone?
Fell by leather
All alone
And bound together
[Chorus]
Where have they gone?
Fell by leather
All alone
And bound together
