Lyrics:

I'm down in Mexico, had to go
Won't be home no more
I want mom and dad to know I miss and love them so
Though I'll never see them anymore
The day that I turned 21 I could hardly wait
To say goodbye to mom and dad and shake the hand of fate
Fate was with me from the start until that fateful day
A big man he took my sweetheart and I took his life away
Now I'm down in Mexico, had to go
Won't be home no more
I want mom and dad to know I miss and love them so
Though I'll never see them anymore

I stood and watched him there as he fell
And then I heard a policemen's whistle blow
And when I thought about that prison cell
I thought about old Mexico
Now I'm down in Mexico, had to go
Won't be home no more
I want mom and dad to know I miss and love them so
Though I'll never see them anymore
