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 Peñasco South of the border In old Mexico There's a great hot desert South of Mexicali And if you don't got water You'd better not go Tequila won't get you Across that desert To Evangelina In old Mexico 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 a way To reach that woman In old Mexico 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 And the fire I feel for the woman I love Is driving me insane Knowing she's waiting And I can't get there God only knows that I wracked my brain To try to find a way To reach that 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 Peñasco South of the border In old Mexico Evangelina, I miss you so
