Beautiful flowers are all that I dreamed of You don't know what you got so you want what you can't have I love laugh at all of the hours All the jokes that I know Someway make you sour Adios Maria I'll meet you in paradise Run my hands through your hair At the break of sun rise Adios Maria I'll meet you in paradise If the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rids New Orleans town On my way up to Austin Dominoes was my game Till the day that I lost em It's a short road here That goes a lot longer North to south it's the same High water will drown ya Adios Maria I'll meet you in paradise Run my hands through your hair At the break of sun rise Adios Maria I'll meet you in paradise If the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise There's a man that I know, Hill Country from Texas His name is Ulysses And he's grown to respect us He loves his life so all man who can see it It's a troubled heart and a worried mind That bring you to fear it Adios Maria I'll meet you in paradise Run my hands through your hair At the break of sun rise Adios Maria I'll meet you in paradise If the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise
