INTRO And I dream in the morning, she brings me water, And I dream in 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 Mexicali. And if you don't have water, boy 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 driving me insane. Knowing she's waiting, And I can't get there. And God only knows that I've racked my brain, To try to find a way, To reach that woman in old Mexico. INSTRUMENTAL And 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, In 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. And God only knows that I've racked my brain, To try to find a way, To reach that woman in old Mexico. And I dream in the morning, she brings me water, And I dream in evening, she brings me wine. Just a poor man's daughter, From Puerto Penasco. South of the border, in old Mexico. Evangelina I miss you so, I miss you so.
