Lyrics:

Elfego Baca

In the land of big men
When this great West was wild
Elfego was full and his nature was mild
And the legend was that like “El Gato” the cat
Nine lives had Elfego “El Gato.”

He dared to stand up to the toughest of men
He faced all their six guns again and again
All the people in town and the folks all around
Sing the praise of Elfego “El Gato.”

Elfego was wise
and Elfego was strong
Elfego “El Gato,” who made right from wrong
and the legend was that
Like El Gato the cat
Nine lives had Elfego Baca.
