EVANGELINA
Hoyt Axton 1975
GEmDG
And I dream in the morning, that she brings me water;
GAA7DD7
And I dream in the evening, that she brings me wine.
GCG
Just a poor man?s daughter, from Porta Pen~asco;
DD7G
Evangelina, Old Mexico.
GEmDG
There?s a great hot desert, South of Mexicalli;
GAA7DD7
If you don?t have water, you?d better not go.
GCG
Tequilla won?t get you, across that desert;
DD7G
to Evangelina, in Old Mexico.
(CHORUS)
F#mFCG
And the Fire I feel for the woman I love, Is driving me insane;
DD7G
knowing she?s waiting, and I can?t get there.
F#mFCG
God only knows that I rack my brain to try to find a way,
DD7G
to reach that woman, in old Mexico.
GEmDG
And I met a kind man, he guarded the Border;
GAA7DD7
He said you don?t need papers, I?ll let you go.
GCG
I can tell that you love her, by the look in your eyes now;
DD7G
She?s the rose of the desert, in old Mexico.
(CHORUS)
F#mFCG
And the Fire I feel for the woman I love, Is driving me insane;
DD7G
knowing she?s waiting, and I can?t get there.
F#mFCG
God only knows that I rack my brain to try to find a way,
DD7G
to reach that woman, in old Mexico.
GEmDG
And I dream in the morning, that she brings me water;
GAA7DD7
And I dream in the evening, that she brings me wine.
GCG
Just a poor man?s daughter, from Porta Pen~asco;
DD7G
South of the Border, in old Mexico.
DD7CG
Evangelina, I miss you so. I miss you so.
