Evangelina

And I dream in the morning

That she brings me water

And I dream in the evening

That she brings me wine

Just a poor man's daughter

From Puerto Peñasco

South of the border

In old Mexico

There's a great hot desert

South of Mexicali

And if you don't got water

You'd 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 to find a way

To reach that woman

In old Mexico

I met a kind man

He guarded the border

He said, "You don't need papers

I'll let you go

I can tell that you love her

By the look in your eyes now"

She's the rose of the desert

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

God only knows that I wracked 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

And I dream in the evening

That she brings me wine

Just a poor man's daughter

From Puerto Peñasco

South of the border

In old Mexico

Evangelina, I miss you so
