SINGER: Hoyt Axton

SONG:Evangelina

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.
evangelina in old mexico.
There's a great hot desert
down in mexicali.
and if you don't have water
boy, you'd better not go.
tequila won't get you
across that desert.
to evangelina, in old mexico
Chorus
And the fire i feel for the woman i love
is drivin' me insane.
knowin' she's waitin',
and i can't get there.
god only knows that i wracked 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, now".
she's the rose of the desert
in old mexico
Repeat chorus
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.
south of the border
in old mexico
evangelina,i miss you so.
i miss you so.
