The Coalminer's Beat – Mexico lyrics

lt was in Santa Fe my automobile out of order
I made rest in a little cheap motel
I saw a pretty gin, oh she was there beside
her door, same Tears were runnin‘ down her
nose and I said; "Hey weeping girl why do
you look so sad? who has done you wrong?"
and I said: ,,Hey weeping girl show me a smile,
I'm sure your eyes can't only cry!"

Why did she go, oh why did she go!
why did she go to Mexico?

She looked at me with her weeping eyes
she said: "I'm searching for my home!
I'm a mexican girl, here is no place for me!"
and I said: "Hey weeping girl, show me a smile,
I'm sure your eyescan't only cry!"

Why did she go, oh why did she go!
why did she go to Mexico?

We talked all night long until the morning sun
appeared, then she fell asleep in my arms, whow!
at noon I woke up with a letter by my side:
"I love you, but I'm bound for Mexico!"

Why did she go, oh why did she go!
why did she go to Mexico?

Why did she go, oh why did she go!
why did she go to Mexico?
