Evangelina
Hoyt Axton
(Words and music Hoyt Axton & Kenneth Higginbotham)

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 Puerta Pinasco
BREVANGELINA in old Mexico
BR
BRThere's a great hot desert
BRDown in Mexicali
BRAnd if you don't have water
BRBoy, you'd better not go
BRTequila won't get you
BRAcross that desert
BRTo EVANGELINA, in old Mexico
BR
BRCHORUS
BR
BRAnd the fire I feel for the woman I love
BRIs drivin' me insane
BRKnowin' she's waitin',
BRAnd I can't get there
BRGod only knows that I wracked my brain
BRTo try and find a way
BRTo reach that woman
BRIn old Mexico
BR
BRAnd I met a kind man
BRHe guarded the border
BRHe said, "You don't need papers,
BRI'll let you go,
BRI can tell that you love her
BRBy the look in your eyes, now"
BRShe's the rose of the desert
BRIn old Mexico
BR
BRRepeat Chorus
BR
BRAnd I dream in the morning
BRThat she brings me water
BRAnd I dream in the evening
BRThat she brings me wine
BRJust a poor man's daughter
BRFrom Puerta Pinasco
BRSouth of the border
BRIn old Mexico
BREvangelina,I miss you so
BRI miss you so
