Down In Mexico Lyrics - Bobby Bare

I'm down in Mexico had to go won't be home no more 

I want mom and dad to know I miss and love them so 

Though I'll never see them anymore 

The day that I turned twenty one I could hardly wait 

To say goodbye to mom and dad and shake the hand of fate 

Fate was with me from the start until that fateful day 

A big man he took my sweetheart and I took his life away 

Now I'm down in Mexico... 

I stood and watched the man as he fell and then I heard the policemen's whistle blow 

And when I thought about that prison cell I thought about old Mexico 

Now I'm down in Mexico...
