at least i thought it was

 

'beaches of mexico'

lyrics: anonymous tupelo fan stayiing in villa b

music: a. parker

**hidden track on gob iron II

 

come all you old tupelo fans

and listen to my song

please do not grow weary

i'll not detain you long

concerning some wild songwriters

who did agree to go

and spend the summer pleasant

on the beaches of mexico.

 

well I found myself in the middle villa

numbered eighteen eighty-three

when a man by the name of tweedy

come a'walkin' up to me

sayin "how do you do young fella

and how'd you like to go

and listen to alt country

sung by the boys of tupelo

 

well me being on vacation then

to jay farrar i did say

why don't you and tweedy

sing a few for old times sake

hug it out if you need to

the wives will understand

and reform a new tupelo

on the beaches of mexico

 

it was there our pleasures ended

and our troubles all begun

a lightnin' storm come up on us

and made jay farrar run

jeff just stood there

a tear on his cheek that did grow

and i slowly walked away

on the beaches of mexico
