| Way down here you need a reason to move
|
| Feel a fool running your stateside games
|
| Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James
|
| Oh, Mexico
|
| It sounds so simple I just got to go The sun’s so hot I forgot to go home
|
| Guess I’ll have to go now
|
| Americano got the sleepy eye
|
| But his body’s still shaking like a live wire
|
| Sleepy Seorita with the eyes on fire
|
| Oh, Mexico
|
| It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
|
| Moon’s so bright like to light up the night
|
| Make everything all right
|
| Baby’s hungry and the money’s all gone
|
| The folks back home don’t want to talk on the phone
|
| She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; |
| times are hard
|
| Oh, down in Mexico
|
| I never really been so I don’t really know
|
| Oh, Mexico
|
| I guess I’ll have to go Oh, Mexico
|
| I never really been but I’d sure like to go Oh, Mexico
|
| I guess I’ll have to go now |
