Evangelina

And I dream in the morning she brings me water

I dream in the evening she brings me wine

Just a poor man's daughter from Puerto Penasco

Evangelina in old Mexico

There's a great hot desert south of the border

And if you don't take water you better not go

Tequila won't get you across that desert

To Evangelina in old Mexico

And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane

Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there

God only knows that I wracked my brain to try and find a way

To reach that woman in old Mexico

And I met a kind man he guarded the border

He said You don't need papers I'll let you by

I can tell that you love her from the look in your eyes son

She's the rose of the desert in old Mexico

And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane

Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there

God only knows that I wracked my brain to try and find a way

To reach that woman in old Mexico

And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane

Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there

God only knows that I wracked my brain to try and find a way

To reach that woman in old Mexico

And I dream in the morning she brings me water

I dream in the evening she brings me wine

Just a poor man's daughter from Puerto Penasco

Evangelina in old Mexico Evangelina I love you so
