[Verse 1]
And I dream in the mornin' that she brings me water
And I dream in the evenin' that she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter in Puerto Peñasco
South of the border in old Mexico

[Verse 2]
There's a great hot desert south of Mexicali
And if you don't got water, well you better not go
Tequila won't get you across that desert
To Evangelina in old Mexico

[Verse 3]
And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane
Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there
God only knows that I wracked my brain to try to find the way
To reach that woman in old Mexico

[Verse 4]
And I met a kind man, he guarded the border
He said "You don't need papers, 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 of old Mexico"

[Verse 2]
And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane
Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there
God only knows that I wracked my brain to try to find the way
To reach that woman in old Mexico
[Verse 1]
And I dream in the mornin' that she brings me water
And I dream in the evenin' that she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter in Puerto Peñasco
South of the border in old Mexico

[Outro]
Evangelina, I miss you so
