Old Mexico - John Anderson

Old Mexico

If you’ve not already been you really ought to go

Down to old Mexico

Your American dollar’ll buy you so much more

I was close to the border of old Mexico

When I needed doing nowhere to go

So I called me a cab and didn’t go far

I found myself in a Mexican bar

Where pretty women dance and Tequila flow

South of the border down in Mexico

Well, a beauty señorita she bought me some Tequila

And asked me if I wanted to pray

I didn’t understand her but when she grabbed my hand

I knew what she was trying to say

I took one look at her long dark hair

And followed her up a little red stair

In old Mexico

If you’ve not already been you really ought to go

Down to old Mexico

Your American dollar’ll buy you so much more

The next thing I knew all my money was gone

I crawled in a cab and crossed the border back home

It was early in the morning when I left that town

But I’ll never forget all the pleasures I found

When I wanna have fun you know where I’ll go

South of the border down in Mexico, yeah

Old Mexico

If you’ve not already been you really ought to go

Down to old Mexico

Your American dollar’ll buy you so much more

Old Mexico

If you’ve not already been you really ought to go

Down to old Mexico

Your American dollar’ll buy you so much more
