Oh Maria hands it out



she comes from Guatamala



she helps me get around



she helps when I'm in trouble



when the ice cream hit the ground



The Federales they were a'coming



she had made arrangements with a vendor



the stupid gringo - he got away



Now if I had a $100's



and maracas in my hand



I'd shake them for Maria



I'd pressure her old man



to let me take her back to Texas



In the white pickup truck



where she had done a dozen favors



to get me out of dutch



La...



Now we never spank the children



and the house is pretty small



and I never learned the language



of old Guatamal



but there are frijoles when I'm hungry



and I drink tequila when I'm dry



and the coffee is oh so good



and Maria hands it out



La...
