JIMMY MARTINEZ
The Dstory began in Renosa
A village in Ebdimold   Mexi A7co
A girl and a Mexican soldier
Were sweethearts, a long time a Dgo
They made big plans for a wedding
The town of Re Ebdimnosa would A7go
And there would see Jimmy Martinez
Married to Sarah Se Dro
A7Ohh  ohh  Dohh
DOne day there came a message
It said that EbdimJimmy must A7go
As Jimmy was leavin' Renosa
To fight at the Ala Dmo
He never returned to Renosa
The story's been Ebdimtold and re A7told
