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 Porta Venyasco

Evangelina in ol’ 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 meet Evangelina in ol’ Mexico

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

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

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

To reach that woman in ol’ 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 her eyes son

She’s a rose of the desert in ol’ 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

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

 To reach that woman in ol’ 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

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

 To reach that woman in ol’ Mexico

And I dream in the morning, she brings me water

I dream in the evening, she brings me wine

Just a poor mans daughter from Porta Benyasco

Evangelina in ol’ Mexico

Evangelina, I love you so
