                                        D
Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world

         G                                              D
'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls

                    Em
I was looking for a lady

                   D      C-G   C-D   C-G
Someone to have my baby

                                 D
So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane

  G                                     D
I sat me down next to your all American dame

                                              Em
Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a pity"

                                                   D      
Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico City
CHORUS:
             G     
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying

                                                     D
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
             G     
Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high

                                                               D
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
(Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy)
G                                                         D
Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list

       G                                        D
Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist?

                            Em
They said my papers were in order

                                                          D      
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border
CHORUS:
             G     
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying

                                                     D
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head

Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high

                                              D
Took the first South bound across the Rio and down

G                                      D
Found a little place in a small Mexico town

               Em
Just me and my lady

                    D      
Now she's having my baby
CHORUS:
             G     
Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
