Evangelina Lyrics - Singles - Guthrie Arlo

I dream in the morning 

That she brings me water 

And I dream in evening 

That she brings me wine 

Just a poor man's daughter 

From Puerto Penasco 

Evangelina in old Mexico 

There's a great hot desert 

South of Mexicali 

And if you don't have water 

Then you better not go 

Tequila won't get you 

Across the desert 

To Evangelina in old Mexico 

And the fire I feel for the 

Woman I love 

Is driving me insane 

Knowing she's waiting 

And I just can't get there 

Lord only knows that I've 

Racked my brain 

To try and find a way 

To see that woman in old Mexico 

I met a kind man 

Who guarded the border 

He said you don't have papers 

But I'll let you go 

I can tell that you love her 

By the look in your eyes now 

She's the rose of the desert 

In old Mexico 

And the fire I feel for the 

Woman I love 

Is driving me insane 

Knowing she's waiting 

And I just can't get there 

Lord only knows that I've 

Racked my brain 

To try and find a way 

To see tht woman in old Mexico 

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 Puerto Penasco 

Evangelina in old Mexico 

There's a great hot desert 

South of Mexicali 

And if you don't have water 

Then you better not go 

Tequila won't get you 

Across the desert 

To Evangelina in old Mexico 

She's the rose of the desert 

In old Mexico
