Evangelina

And I dream in the morning that she brings me water

I dream in the evening that she brings me wine

She's just a poor man's daughter, Puerto Peñasco

Evangeline of old Mexico

There's a great hot desert south of Mexicali

And if you don't have the water, boy, you better not go

Tequila won't get you across that desert

To Evangeline of old Mexico

And the fire I feel for the woman I love is driving me insane

Knowing she's waiting and I can't get there

And God only knows that I racked my brain to try to find a way

To reach that woman in old Mexico

And I met a kind man, seems he guarded the border

Said, "You don't need no papers, I will let you go

For I can tell that you love her by the look in your eyes, boy

She's a 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 can't get there

And God only knows that I racked my brain to try to find a way

To reach that woman in old Mexico

And I dream in the morning that she brings me water

I dream in the evening that she brings me wine

She's just a poor man's daughter from Puerto Peñasco

Evangeline of Old Mexico

Evangeline, I miss you so
