I woke up to a bright summer morning With the Mexican law on my trail I'd been running for four days and nights Shot a man who worked at the rail At the rail
And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye
They want to take me back for the trial Let by the point of a gun Gotta hang for killing that man But it was a fair show-down in the sun in the sun
And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye
And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye Mexico, I just can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye
