[Verse 1]
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 Peñasco
Evangelina in old Mexico
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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've wracked my brain to try to find a way
To reach that woman in old Mexico
[Verse 3]
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"
[Chorus]
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've wracked my brain to try and find a way
To reach that woman in old Mexico
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
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've wracked my brain to try to find a way
To reach that woman in old Mexico
[Verse 1]
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 Peñasco
Evangelina in old Mexico
[Outro]
Evangelina, I love you so
