The Cisco Kid Lyrics

Artist: War

The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine
He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine

We met down on the fort of Rio Grande
We met down on the fort of Rio Grande
Eat the salted peanuts out of can
Eat the salted peanuts out the can

The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort
The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort
Cisco came in blastin', drinkin' port
Cisco came in blastin', drinkin' port

They rode the sunset, horse was made of steel
They rode the sunset, horse was made of steel
Chased a gringo last night through a field
Chased a gringo last night through a field

The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine

The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine

The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine

by Jeff on 7/11/2008 8:31pm I used to listen to this when I was a kid more than 30 years ago...it was my dad's music. War has a lot of good songs.
by Cheres on 7/30/2008 10:21pm Best song ever written!
by Mike on 8/9/2008 8:22pm Good Tune
by ch on 8/11/2008 11:22pm This song came out before I was born; Cisco kid is by far my most favorite song of all time... especially with the music now a days.
by Di Lynn on 8/20/2008 4:44pm One of the best ever! Music was good back then...
by APendragon on 8/20/2008 8:46pm Brian, I completely agree. david, get a life, or at least some taste in music. Nick, I agree. I mean that in the nicest way. djdi, O yeah. Strange lyrics but what a groove.
by Johnny on 8/21/2008 2:52pm These song rocks so much man gotta love Oldies, now music can't never beat that!
by G.R. on 8/28/2008 1:40pm Absolutely one of the all-time best songs ever! I was at Harold Brown's house one Sunday evening and he played a "new track" for us and played drums along with it. I instantly loved it. That was a few months before the song was released and it just happened to be Cisco Kid. By the way, Harold was the greatest and nicest person I have ever met in my entire life and I am now 60. Music comes and goes but Cisco Kid will live forever...
by DANER on 9/25/2008 1:28pm HORRENDOUS
by Professor on 10/2/2008 9:56pm What a groove! If you don't like this classic, you need to figure out how to get a clue, and get a life.
by whiteshadoe on 10/16/2008 1:46am One of the best tunes ever written! My older sister gave me this album (my first, "The World Is A Ghetto")when I was 13. Thanks Sis!!!!
by Bill on 10/17/2008 9:31pm Calling it the best song ever is a stretch, but it certainly is classic War. Love that percussion.
by Lowdown Dirty Shame on 12/4/2008 6:33pm Lyrics are way off. Are you people in Czech Republic or what?
by Popperdude on 12/20/2008 9:55pm nice tune
by Luis on 12/24/2008 12:51am Great percussions
by Poncho on 1/1/2009 7:37pm Cisco kid was indeed a good freind of mine.

by John on 1/26/2009 2:45pm I remember listening to this song as a little kid. Lyrics are goofy, but I love the song.
by WhiteDaisy on 1/28/2009 12:24am Wow!! Yes the lyrics are a little crazy, buttttt still a cool song. Think about it...what year was this song released?? Sometime in the 60's right??? What an era for great music ! Listening to WAR still makes people grooove even now ! Wish they were still around !!! I know I'de go see em'.

by c11 on 3/25/2009 12:33am For you "kids" "The Cisco Kid" was a tv serial from the late '50s.
by DANILO FROM MARACAIBO VENEZUELA on 4/5/2009 6:30pm This serial t.v. program was great and i enjoyed a lot together with my younger brothers when we came from school.Nowadays I´m fifty seven THANKS GOD My e-mail dala2451@hotmail.com
by Mongu on 4/8/2009 1:20am David, you obviously never heard "Silly Love Songs,", by Paul MacCartney. Worst song in history, except maybe "Ebony and Ivory." This is a great song! The proof is it's staying power. We are still talking about it. Will you do anything that the world will talk about so many years later? This is a self-assessment as much as a comment on you. But THIS IS A GREAT SONG!
by Jeffrey on 5/20/2009 1:28pm I bought this album back in '72 with my allowance. Took my whole $5... but was worth every dime! "Cisco Kid", "The World is A Ghetto", "City, Country, City", it is the bomb! They just don't make 'em like this anymore!
by Iris on 6/16/2009 12:17pm I Love War. This was an awesome group. I grew up listening to War. My dad use to Listen to the group all the time.
by Larry on 8/21/2009 10:56am I sing it every time we ride bikes through a gorge on the Yough Trail in PA. I thought it was pinned down at the gorge instead of fort. Oh well, I make up my own words to fit. What fun!
by Renoville on 9/1/2009 4:12pm This was real music..you got to love it far beyond what's out here today. You actually can understand the lyrics even if they are repetitive.
by skorp on 10/21/2009 1:29am the line is not Chased a gringo last night through a field chased a gringo rustler through a field rustler=cattle thief
