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. Evangelina in old Mexico. There's a great hot desert Down in Mexicali. And if you don't have water Boy, you'd better not go. Tequila won't get you Across that desert. To Evangelina, in old Mexico [Chorus:] And the fire I feel for the woman I love Is drivin' me insane. Knowin' she's waitin', And I can't get there. God only knows that I wracked my brain To try and find a way To reach that woman In old Mexico. And I met a kind man He guarded the border He said, "You don't need papers, I'll let you go, I can tell that you love her By the look in your eyes, now". She's the rose of the desert In old Mexico [Chorus] 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. South of the border In old Mexico Evangelina, I miss you so. I miss you so.
