Thin Lizzy - Mexican Blood lyrics

She was a mexican girl, she had mexican blood I seen it the night that she died She was a mexican girl, she had mexican blood Oh how she could drive that mexican boy wild He's on the run near el paso And he'll cross all across america He's leaving behind old mexico And his girl that pretty mexican girl that died She had mexican blood He was a mexican boy with a mexican smile And he drank a little tequila He was a mexican boy in a mexican town And oh how he loved his young senorita Now and then he'd cross the rio grande And he'd come back a wanted hunted man And his mexican girl was his mexican prize And that girl was his girl that pretty mexican girl that died She had mexican blood He was a cowboy's boy and a cowboy's son And on his side he had a gun He was a cowboy's boy, he was the law He was out looking for someone That night he rode into town The mexican boy tried to gun him down That's when his heart broke up inside 'cause lying on the ground Was his girl that pretty mexican girl, she died She had mexican blood He loved her and she loved him And when he lost her Oh how it hurt him He loved her I seen it the night she died That's when he lost her Now his heart is broken He loved her and she loved him And when he lost her he lost everything
