Hidalgo’s Lament Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He lost his arm in a Mexican jail
She  didn't know where he was
Counting  the days in peculiar ways
Listening to the rain
He didn’t know there were rules to this land
She  didn't know where he was

[Chorus]
When  you don't have anything at all
You’ll be the one who takes the fall, yes you will
You  used to be so big, but now you're so small

[Verse 2]
Make your escape before it is too late
This is the day you'll be free
Life is a beach, so we all must go swim
Swim  with the tide, swim away

[Chorus]
When you don't have anything at all
You'll be the one who takes the fall, yes you will
You used to be so big, but now you're so small

Oh, when you don't have anything at all
You'll be the one who takes the fall, yes you will
You used to be so big, but now you’re so small

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
