1. I am Francisco Vasquez Garcia, I am welcome to Almeria,

we have sin gas and con leche, we have fiesta and feria.

We have the song of the chochona, we have brandy and half corona,

and Leonardo and his accordione, and calamari and macaroni.

we must say adios until we see Almeria once again.

2. There is a minstrel, there you see, and he stoppeth one in three,

G D7 G

he whispers in this one’s ear : Will you kindly kill that doll for me !

C G

Now he has won chochons in the bingo,

C D

all the town has watched this crazy gringo,

G D7

and he pulls off the doll’s head laughing

G

and miraldo, throws its body in the sea.

C G D7 G

Come all you rambling boys of pleasure, and ladies of easy leisure,

C G D7 G

we must say adios until we see Almeria once again.

3. El vienticinco de agosto, abrio sus ojos Jaime Fearnley,

D7 G

pero el bebe cinquante Gin-Campari, y se tendio para cerrarlos.

C G C D

Y Costello el rey del America, y suntuosa cait o Riordan,

G D7 G

non rompere mes colliones, los gritos fuera de las casas.

C G D7 G

Come all you rambling boys of pleasure, and ladies of easy leisure,

C G D7 G

we must say adios until we see Almeria once again.
