Brian Burns - Evangelina lyrics

(Hoyt Axton & Kenneth Higginbotham) And I dream in the mornin' she brings me water And I dream in the evenin' she brings me wine Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Pen~asco Evangelina... in Old Mexico There's a great hot desert south of Mexicali And if you don't have water, boy, you better not go Tequila won't get you across that desert To Evangelina... in Old Mexico BRIDGE: And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane Knowin' she's waitin' and I can't get there Lord only knows that I rack my brain to try and find a way To reach that woman... in Old Mexico And 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, son She's the rose of the desert... in Old Mexico." REPEAT BRIDGE And I dream in the mornin' she brings me water And I dream in the evenin' she brings me wine Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Pen~asco Evangelina... in Old Mexico
