Evangelina
Hoyt Axton
(Words and music Hoyt Axton & Kenneth Higginbotham)
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 Puerta Pinasco.
BREVANGELINA in old Mexico.
BR
BRThere's a great hot desert
BRDown in Mexicali.
BRAnd if you don't have water
BRBoy, you'd better not go.
BRTequila won't get you
BRAcross that desert.
BRTo EVANGELINA, in old Mexico
BR
BRCHORUS
BR
BRAnd the fire I feel for the woman I love
BRIs drivin' me insane.
BRKnowin' she's waitin',
BRAnd I can't get there.
BRGod only knows that I wracked my brain
BRTo try and find a way
BRTo reach that woman
BRIn old Mexico.
BR
BRAnd I met a kind man
BRHe guarded the border
BRHe said, "You don't need papers,
BRI'll let you go,
BRI can tell that you love her
BRBy the look in your eyes, now".
BRShe's the rose of the desert
BRIn old Mexico
BR
BRRepeat Chorus
BR
BRAnd I dream in the morning
BRThat she brings me water
BRAnd I dream in the evening
BRThat she brings me wine.
BRJust a poor man's daughter
BRFrom Puerta Pinasco.
BRSouth of the border
BRIn old Mexico
BREvangelina,I miss you so.
BRI miss you so.
