Explanation:
Hi Krissy:-)
What your text lietrally says is:
"Pancho Villa, with his two ladies (women/girls/lovers) on the side¨(or by his side)".

I don't know if this is a song or what, but that's what it says. By the way, Pancho Villa was a famous army General during the Mexican revolution, and had a reputation as a lady's man. And in Mexico, "vieja" (which usually means old, or old ladies) is also a coloquial term for ladies, women, girls, etc.

Hope this helps:-)

Some more information Krissy

Explanation:
I found a link but I don't know if it has anything to do with your case. It's a website of what looks like a group of college kids called "La Flota". It shows a series of photos taken on trips in Mexico. One of them shows 3 kids posing together and the caption says "Pancho Villa con sus dos viejas en la orilla" (obviously it's just a kid's prank) but the photo is kind of nice.
