Evangelina Lyrics

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.
