The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine [Repeat: x 2]
He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine [Repeat: x 2]
We met down on the fort of Rio Grande [Repeat: x 2]
Eat the salted peanuts out of can [Repeat: x 2]
The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort [Repeat: x 2]
Cisco came in blastin', drinkin' port [Repeat: x 2]
They rode the sunset, horse was made of steel [Repeat: x 2]
Chased a gringo last night through a field [Repeat: x 2]
[Repeat: x 2]
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine [fade]
He drink whiskey, Poncho drink the wine [Repeat: x 2]
We met down on the fort of Rio Grande [Repeat: x 2]
Eat the salted peanuts out of can [Repeat: x 2]
The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort [Repeat: x 2]
Cisco came in blastin', drinkin' port [Repeat: x 2]
They rode the sunset, horse was made of steel [Repeat: x 2]
Chased a gringo last night through a field [Repeat: x 2]
[Repeat: x 2]
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
The Cisco Kid he was a friend of mine [fade]

"We met down at the border Rio Grande"
and...
Chased the gringo rustlers through the field.
Jugheadchad - i think *you* should do some research, and show it to me, considering that you're so passionate on the subject, and I am not.
When Eric Burdon and WAR's success outlasted the mercurial Burdon's attention span, Goldstein was faced with trying to make WAR stand on its own. The result was WAR's 1971 self-entitled debut album. While this album met with only modest success, it laid the groundwork for things to come. "They loved playing live and toured constantly. The experience of making the first album was enlightening to all of us, especially me. I really felt I got an understanding how to make this work and rushed them back into the studio to cut the second album" says Goldstein.
BTW..I'm not passionate, just knowledgable. Google works wonders. Try it sometime.
Consider the line-The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort
If it was border, the could just cross right? lol So yeah i don't think it's border because of context of other verses.
We met down on the border; Rio Grande
We met down on the border; Rio Grande
