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 Penasco Evangelina in old 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 Evangelina in old Mexico
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 wracked my brain to try and find a way To reach that woman in old 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 your eyes, son She's the rose of the desert in old Mexicoâ€
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 wracked my brain to try and find a way To reach that woman in old Mexico
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 wracked my brain to try and find a way To reach that woman in old Mexico
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 Penasco Evangelina in old Mexico, Evangelina, I love you so
