Old Mexico

(álbum: All The People Are Talkin' - 1983)

Old Mexico
If you've not already been you really ought to go
Down to old Mexico
Your American dollar'll buy you so much more

I was close to the border of old Mexico
When I needed doing nowhere to go
So I called me a cab and didn't go far
I found myself in a Mexican bar
Where pretty women dance and Tequila flow
South of the border down in Mexico

Well, a beauty señorita she bought me some Tequila
And asked me if I wanted to pray
I didn't understand her but when she grabbed my hand
I knew what she was trying to say
I took one look at her long dark hair
And followed her up a little red stair

In old Mexico
If you've not already been you really ought to go
Down to old Mexico
Your American dollar'll buy you so much more

The next thing I knew all my money was gone
I crawled in a cab and crossed the border back home
It was early in the morning when I left that town
But I'll never forget all the pleasures I found
When I wanna have fun you know where I'll go
South of the border down in Mexico, yeah

Old Mexico
If you've not already been you really ought to go
Down to old Mexico
Your American dollar'll buy you so much more

Old Mexico
If you've not already been you really ought to go
Down to old Mexico
Your American dollar'll buy you so much more
