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.
