Del Reeves Mexican Joe Lyrics

Mexican Joe Lyrics

South of the border hey I know a lad



He's got more fun than anybody's had



Don't got no worry don't got no dough



Everybody's a wondering about Mexican Joe







In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King



Leads all the women around on a string



When they go out they get a million thrills



But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills



Dancin' romancin' always on the go



Sun shining down on Mexican Joe



[ guitar ]



He makes the night spots all along the bay



People want to see him when he comes their way



He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes



Everybody shouts Viva la Mexican Joe







He likes to gamble at poker he's an ace



He's always lucky with the cards at ever face



At winnin' the money he is sure a whiz



But when they win they don't collect



Cause they don't know where he is



Dancin' romancin' always on the go



Sun shining down on Mexican Joe







He don't got no income tax cause he don't got no dough



Still he gets along just fine how we'll never know



He's got everything he wants a girl a song



If we use his formula we surely can't go wrong







His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls



He's got that something that sets their hearts a whirl



It couldn't be his money cause he ain't got a peso



But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so



Dancin' romancin' always on the go



Sun shining down on Mexican Joe
