Evangelina lyrics

by Hoyt Axton and K Higginbotham

I dream in the morning
That she brings me water
And I dream in evening
That 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
Then you better not go
Tequila won`t get you
Across the 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 just can`t get there
Lord only knows that I`ve
Racked my brain
To try and find a way
To see that woman in old Mexico

I met a kind man
Who guarded the border
He said you don`t have papers
But 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 just can`t get there
Lord only knows that I`ve
Racked my brain
To try and find a way
To see tht woman in old Mexico

And I dream in the morning
That she brings me water
And I dream in the evening
That 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
Then you better not go
Tequila won`t get you
Across the desert
To Evangelina in old Mexico

She`s the rose of the desert
In old Mexico
