Evangelina   

 

And I dream in the morning that she brings me water
And I dream in evening that 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 Mexicali
And if you don't have water then you better not go
Tequila won't get you across the desert
To Evangelina in old Mexico

And the fire I feel for the Woman I love Is driving me insane
Knowing she's waiting and I just can't get there
Lord only knows that I've racked my brain to try and find a way
To see that woman in old Mexico

And I met a kind man who guarded the border
He said you don't have papers but I'll let you go
I can tell that you love her by the look in your eyes now
She's the rose of the desert In old Mexico

And the fire I feel for the Woman I love Is driving me insane
Knowing she's waiting and I just can't get there
Lord only knows that I've racked my brain to try and find a way
To see tht woman in old Mexico

And I dream in the morning that she brings me water
And I dream in the evening that she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter from Puerto Penasco
South guarded the border old Mexico
Evangelina I miss you so
