(Burt BacharachBob Hilliard)



It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce



Down below El Paso lies Juarez

Mexico is different, like a travel folder says

Cross the Rio Grande and you will find

An old adobe house

Where you leave your past behind



One day married, next day free

Broken hearts for you and me

Takes no time, for you to get

A Mexican divorce



As I came into this lonely house last night

I looked at all my windows but I couldn't find one light

I found you on that road to Mexico

And now, my love, I beg

Please, oh, please, don't go



One day married, next day free

Broken hearts for you and me

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce



Finding love takes so long

Walking out must be wrong

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce



One day married, next day free

Broken hearts for you and me

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce
