Mexicali Rose stop crying I'll come back to you some sunny day. Every night you'll know that I'll be pining Every hour a year while I'm away. Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear Banish all those tears and please don't sigh. Kiss me once again and hold me Mexicali Rose, goodbye. Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear Banish all those tears and please don't sigh. Kiss me once again and hold me Mexicali Rose, goodbye.
