Nuevo Laredo

[Verse 1]
In a little border town
Way down there in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico
Spied a señorita there
Wind blows through her long black hair
As I cut a trail on the way to Boys' Town

[Verse 2]
Smoke and drink the night away
In a dimly-lit café
The longhairs were a novelty
To the people that were on the scene
We picked the blues 'til early dawn
Ev'rybody sing along
We had such a ball in Nuevo Laredo

[Chorus]
Nuevo Laredo, Nuevo Laredo
I hear you callin' back to me
An' the time and all its glory, alright

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Cuando yo me fui de allí
Cuando yo, mi amor, te vi en Nuevo Laredo
Y siguiendo una ilusión
Que tenía en el corazón
Yo me fui de mi Nuevo Laredo, Ay!

[Verse 4]
Sittin' on an old bar stool
Lookin' like nobody's fool
Her heart was meant that she was going to go home with only me
A great big cat about six-foot three
Demands that, "Guys, she's a goin' with me"
Then I cut a trail to Nuevo Laredo (Goodbye, Nuevo Laredo)

[Chorus]
Nuevo Laredo, Nuevo Laredo
I hear you callin' back to me
An' the time and all its glory

[Outro]
Nuevo Laredo, Nuevo Laredo
Nuevo Laredo, Nuevo Laredo
