Great Joe Ely tune about a guy who goes out to make his fortune on the Cock fighting circuit. He runs a $27 stake up to $50,000 and loses it all on what is supposed to be Gallo's final fight.
Galllo del Cielo was a warrior born in heaven so the legends say
His wings they had been broken, he had one eye rollin crazy in his head
He'd fought a hundred fights and the legends say that one night near El Sueco
He fought seven times, and seven times he left brave roosters dead.
