Hoyt Axton – Darrel and Judy lyrics

Well I used to go down to Mexico
And I always had a pretty good time
I never understood the words
But I could see by the light
In the eyes of a senorita
She was a beauty
I couldn't help it
She was a lover

And I used to spend my money
But I always counted the change
I read the rules but I never understood the game
And I lost a friend down in Mexico
Hurt bad in a wreck about 90 below the border
I'll never forget the look on the face of his wife
standing at my door
She said Darrel's in jail down in Mexico
They want 500 bail in American dough
What can you lend me? He's hurt so bad
and I'm afraid he's dyin'
she started cryin'
I was a fool then, I was too cool then
I didn't believer her
And I don't remember if I gave her some dough
She said I had to hurry
He's hurt so bad and I do believe he's dyin'

You can talk about it, yeah, talk about it
But it really doesn't matter if it doesn't do someone good

Darrel he died down in Mexico
They gave her his body when she gave 'em the dough
The story ain't pretty but you better believe it's true
And I won't go back to Mexico
but I always had a pretty good time
I never understood the words
but I could see by the light in the eyes of a senorita
I could see by the light in the eyes of a senorita
