The Ballad of Rudy at the Border

Rudy, on your way
Rudy, be on your way
You and your type have robbed from me
And, stolen and raped my land
Yes, you've killed my friends
With your bloody hand
Rudy, be on your way
Rudy, be off and on your way

I wait for you at the border
I wait for you at the port
I wait for you with a gun in hand
I wait to shoot you dead in the sand
So, Rudy, be on your way
Rudy, be on your way

I welcomed your wife in Houston
I welcomed your kids in Boston
They came and they stayed
And they never obeyed
They took from us all
In government aid.
They went to our schools
And they never paid
So, Rudy be off with you
Rudy, be on your way
Rudy, be off with you
Please, don't both darken and brighten my day
For if you follow your wife and family
Rudy, you'll make my day

And, as the sun sets down on the desert sand
I see you walking in a hungry band
I level my gun and the shots fire out
I scatter death, and call it a route
I scatter death all about
Oh, Rudy
Oh, dark-faced Rudy
You should have been off
You should have turned 'round
You can't blame me for shooting
Such a dirty hound
Rudy, be off with you
Rudy, be eternally gone
Rudy, be off with you
Rudy, be forever gone
