Mexican Joe Lyrics - Del Reeves

South of the border, hey, I know a lad 

He's got more fun than anybody's had 

Don't got no worry, don't got no dough 

Everybody's a wondering about Mexican Joe 

In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King 

Leads all the women around on a string 

When they go out they get a million thrills 

But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills 

Dancin', romancin', always on the go 

Sun shining down on Mexican Joe 

He makes the night spots all along the bay 

People want to see him when he comes their way 

He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes 

Everybody shouts, "Viva la Mexican Joe" 

He likes to gamble, at Poker he's an ace 

He's always lucky with the cards at ever face 

At winnin' the money he is sure a whiz 

But when they win they don't collect 

'Cause they don't know where he is 

Dancin', romancin', always on the go 

Sun shining down on Mexican Joe 

He don't got no income tax 'cause he don't got no dough 

Still he gets along just fine, how, we'll never know 

He's got everything he wants, a girl, a song 

If we use his formula, we surely can't go wrong 

His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls 

He's got that something that sets their hearts a whirl 

It couldn't be his money 'cause he ain't got a Peso 

But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so 

Dancin', romancin', always on the go 

Sun shining down on Mexican Joe
