And I dream in the morning that she brings me water

I dream in the evening that she brings me wine

She's just a poor man's daughter from Puerto Peñasco

Evangelina, old Mexico



And 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, old Mexico



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

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

And God only knows that I wracked my brain to try to find a way

To reach that woman, old Mexico



And I met a kind man, seems he guarded the border

He said, "You don't need no papers, I will let you go

For I can tell that you love her by the look in your eyes, boy

She's the rose of the desert in old Mexico"



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

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

And God only knows that I wracked my brain to try to find a way

To reach that woman, old Mexico



And I dream in the morning that she brings me water

I dream in the evening that she brings me wine

She's just a poor man's daughter from Puerto Peñasco

Evangelina, old Mexico

Evangelina, I miss you so
