Jim Reeves – Mexican Joe (Guitar)

                                  A
South of the border, hey I know a lad

                                 D
He's got more fun than anybody's had

                                 A
Don't got no worry, don't got no dough

                                    D
Everybody's wondering 'bout Mexican Joe

                                        A
In old Mexico, they call him the rhumba king

                                D
Leads all the women around on a string

                                      A
When they go out, they get a million thrills

                                          D
But the lovely señoritas wind up with the bills

                                  A
Dancin', romancin', always on the go

                            D
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe

                                       A
He makes the night spots all along the bay

                                         D
People wanna see him when he comes their way

                                     A
He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes

                                  D
Everyone shouts: "Viva la Mexican Joe"

                                     A
He likes to gamble, at poker he's an ace

                                            D
He's always lucky with the cards that got a face

                                   A
At winnin' the money, he is sure a whizz

                                                                      D
But when they win they don't collect, 'cause they don't know where he is

                                  A
Dancin', romancin', always on the go

                            D
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe

                                              A
He don't no income tax 'cause he don't got no dough

                                               D
Still he gets along just fine, how we'll never know

                                                 A
He's got everything he wants: a girl, a drink, a song

                                          D
If we use his formula, we surely can't go wrong

                                            A
His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls

                                                 D
He's got that somethin' that sets their hearts a-whirl

                                               A
It couldn't be his money 'cause he ain't got a pe-so

                                               D
But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so

                                  A
Dancin', romancin', always on the go

                            D
