What's a Simple Man to Do? |
| Dear Graciela, I’m writing this letter |
| Deep in the night and I’m all alone |
| It’s nearly breaking my heart to tell you |
| I’m so far away from home |
| I know I said I’d never cross the border |
| I know I promised to return to you |
| But I lost my job in the maquiladora |
| What’s a simple man to do? |
| I met a man in Tijuana |
| Said he had a job for me to do |
| Standing on a corner in San Diego |
| With a pocketful of red balloons |
| All I wanted was a little money |
| All I needed was a week or two |
| I never even saw the police coming |
| What’s a simple man to do? |
| Tell my mamma that I said I’m sorry |
| I know she didn’t bring me up this way |
| Ask if she could light a candle for me |
| Pray that I’ll come home someday |
| Oh Graciela, won’t you please forgive me |
| I never meant to bring this shame to you |
| I lost my job in the maquiladora |
| What’s a simple man to do? |
