Brian Burns - Evangelina lyrics

rate me

And I dream in the mornin' she brings me water,

And I dream in the evenin' she brings me wine,

Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Pen~asco,

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.

BRIDGE:

And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane,

Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there.

Lord only knows that I rack my brain to try and find a way

To reach that woman... in Old Mexico.

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, son,

She's the rose of the desert... in Old Mexico."

REPEAT BRIDGE

And I dream in the mornin' she brings me water,

And I dream in the evenin' she brings me wine,

Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Pen~asco,

Evangelina... in Old Mexico.
