[Verse 1]
G                   Em       D                      G
And I dream in the morning,     that she brings me water;
G                   A        A7                      D    D7
And I dream in the evening,      that she brings me wine.
                   G         C                 G
Just a poor man’s daughter,     from Porta Peñasco;
              D       D7             G
South of the border,      in old Mexico.
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                     Em     D               G
There’s a great hot desert,     south of Mexicali;
G                   A     A7                   D    D7
If you don’t have water,      you’d better not go.
               G        C                G
Tequila won’t get you,     across that desert;
         D     D7           G
to Evangelina,    in old Mexico.
 
 
[Chorus]
       Bm                C/G                 C          G
And the fire I feel for the woman I love, is driving me insane;

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



                D      D7                   G
knowing she’s waiting,     and I can’t get there.
 Bm                    C/G              C             G
God only knows that I rack my brain to try to find a way,
                D     D7           G
to reach that woman,      in old Mexico.
 
 
[Verse 3]
G            Em       D                  G
And I met a kind man,    he guarded the border;
G                        A      A7               D    D7
He said you don’t need papers,      I’ll let you go.
                     G         C                       G
I can tell that you love her,     by the look in your eyes now;
                      D       D7            G
She’s the rose of the desert,     in old Mexico.
 
 
[Chorus]
        Bm                  C/G              C           G
And the fire I feel for the woman I love, is driving me insane;
               D       D7                    G
knowing she’s waiting,     and I can’t get there.
Bm                   C/G               C            G
God only knows that I rack my brain to try to find a way,
               D      D7            G
to reach that woman,      in old Mexico.

 G                  Em       D                      G
And I dream in the morning,     that she brings me water;
 G                  A       A7                      D    D7
And I dream in the evening,     that she brings me wine.
                    G       C                 G
Just a poor man’s daughter,    from Porta Peñasco;

South of the border,    in old Mexico.
      D     D7            C                G
Evangelina,    I miss you so.   I miss you so.
