[Intro] G Em D G [Verse 1]
G                   Em       D                      G
And I dream in the morning,     that she brings me water;

G                   A        A7                      D    D7
And I dream in the evening,      that she brings me wine.

                   G         C                  G
Just a poor man's daughter,     from Puerto Peñasco;

              D       D7             G
South of the border,      in old Mexico.
[Verse 2]
G                     Em     D               G
There's a great hot desert,     south of Mexicali;

G                 A      A7                    D   D7
If you don't got water,      you'd better not go.

               G        C               G
Tequila won't get you,     across that desert;

         D      D7             G
to Evangelina,      in old Mexico.
[Chorus]
        Bm                  C                              G
And the fire I feel for the woman I love, is driving me insane;

                D      D7                   G
knowing she's waiting,     and I can't get there.

Bm                  C                                   G
God only knows that I racked my brain to try to find a way,

                D     D7             G
to reach that woman,      in old Mexico.
[Interlude] Em D G [Verse 3]
G            Em       D                  G
And I met a kind man,    he guarded the border;

G                      A        A7                D   D7
He said you don't need papers,      I'll let you go.

                      G        C                       G
I can tell that you love her,     by the look in your eyes now;

                      D       D7             G
She's the rose of the desert,     in old Mexico.
[Chorus]
        Bm                  C                              G
And the fire I feel for the woman I love, is driving me insane;

               D       D7                   G
knowing she's waiting,     and I can't get there.

Bm                  C                                   G
God only knows that I racked my brain to try to find a way,

                D     D7             G
to reach that woman,      in old Mexico.
[Verse 4]
G                   Em       D                      G
And I dream in the morning,     that she brings me water;

G                   A       A7                      D    D7
And I dream in the evening,     that she brings me wine.

                   G        C                  G
Just a poor man's daughter,    from Puerto Peñasco;

              D       D7             G
South of the border,      in old Mexico.

      D     D7             G     G C G
Evangelina,    I miss you so.
