Hollies Mexico Gold Lyrics

Mexico Gold Lyrics

Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world 

'cause I heard a lot of
things about the North American girls 

I was looking for a lady 

someone to have my baby 



So I got me on a 747 Pan-American plane


I sat me down next to your all-American dame 

Said I'm going up
north 

she said it's a pity 

Then she told about the gold 

down in Mexico City 



Oh she said "Lordy Lordy 

watch the
blue smoke flying 

every morning and every night 

to get you out of
your head 

Oh man oh Lordy Lordy it's a natural high 

when you're
living down south 

and it's going right out of your head 



Got off the plane went to the customs 

and they gave me a list 

Do you carry a gun take drugs or are you Communist 

They said my papers
were in order 

I wasn't staying long no sir 

I'm going south across
the border 



chorus 



Took the first southbound 

across the Rio and down 

Found a little place in the small Mexico town


Just me and my lady 

now she's having my baby 



chorus
