And I dream in the morning, she brings me water, 
               A                      D 
And I dream in evening, she brings me wine. 
                  G        C 
Just a poor man's daughter, 
              G 
From Puerto Penasco. 
      D               G 
Evangelina in old Mexico.

There's a great hot desert, south of Mexicali. 
                      A                         D 
And if you don't have water, boy you better not go. 
              G       C 
Tequila won't get you, 
            G  
Across that desert. 
         D               G 
To Evangelina in old Mexico. 
 
 
 
        Bm                  F 
And the fire I feel for the woman I love, 
   C            G 
Is driving me insane. 
              D       
Knowing she's waiting, 
C            G 
 And I can't get there. 
    Bm                       F 
And God only knows that I've racked my brain, 
   C             G 
To try to find a way, 
              D                G 
To reach that woman in old Mexico.

And I met a kind man, he guarded the border. 
                        A                    D 
He said 'You don't need papers, I'll let you go'. 
                    G        C 
I can tell that you love her, 
                    G 
By the look in your eyes now. 
                      D 
She's the rose of the desert, 
           G 
In old Mexico.
