I hope cock fights don't last this long.

Sounds like Romance in Durango meets Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

I feel like I need to go swimming in the Rio Grande.

Love, love, love this little story. Playing it full blast in the pick-up truck on our way to the barn, my daughter and I would yell out the story in song to each other...so much fun!

A very witty lil' number!
Beautifully done.

There is a reason. Glorifying a cruel barbaric "sport". Substitute the owners and see how they would like it

For some reason his yanqui accented Spanish reminds me of that scene in "Might Wind" where the Folksmen sing that song about the Spanish Civil War.

Followed by Cheech and Chong's version of Humo en la agua

Hmm...Interesting...very interesting

Now, THIS is a good tune.
SO needs to be followed up by "Pancho and Lefty"

Oh when will this song please end!?

Sounds like a California geography lesson.

I think this qualifies as the very first song that I have ever heard that make a reference to Casa Grande.

Whoa. That must've rocked. I gotta keep an eye out for a rerun.

Wha...a cockfighting ballad? I have no idea what to do with this.

I first heard Ely sing this on Austin City Limits when joined Los Lobos on stage. I've loved it ever since.

Joe Ely. What else is there to say? Awesome story and telling.

I didn't know Tom Russell wrote it. Learn sumthin' new ever' day.

Or, in English, "The Cock of Heaven". I'm just gonna leave that right there.

There just ain't that many cockfighting songs out there, so it makes this an instant classic!
