  • Pour me another Tequila Sheila,
    Take off that red satin dress
    I cross the border and I beat the dealer
    For all the damn gold in Juarez.

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
    And sure could use a friend (I got Pesso to spend)
    So pour me another Tequilla Sheila
    And lay down n'love me again.

    Though I can tell you about it
    But don't mind my gun by the bed
    I feel kind of naked without it
    And it eases the fear in my head.

    Just pass me the salt n'the lemon
    Bend down n'blow out the light
    I never had trusted the woman
    But Sheila I'll trust you tonight.

    Pour me another Tequila Sheila
    Take off that red satin dress
    I cross the border and I beat the dealer
    For all the damn gold in Juarez.

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
    And sure could use a friend (I got Pesso to spend)
    So pour me another Tequilla Sheila,
    And lay down n'love me again

    Sheila I'm hearing your heart beat
    But I'm hearing footsteps outside
    The courtyard is crawling with damn federalists
    And Sheila there's no place to hide.

    I don't know who could have tipped them
    nobody knew but you
    But I can't make love to a squealer, Sheila
    So I guess there's just one thing to do.

    Pour me another Tequila Sheila.
    I'm gonna put on your red dress, you put on my cloths
    You go out and face the dealer
    And Sheila, I wish you the best.

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
    I need a fast horse and a friend
    So pour me another Tequila Sheila
    And I'll ride towards the border again Writer/s: Mac Davis, Shel Silverstein
