I do not know her name I've thought she was the same As the girls I left in old Mexico. Tequila sun and fun And nothing to be done But I've lost my heart in old Mexico. I left her there behind
She was always in my mind The little girl I met in old Mexico. I miss her ev'ry day So I know I must away and go back to her In old Mexico.
I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night I feel sad 'cause she's out of sight
I'll take the morning flight Going back is right. I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night Telling me I have to see my bride I'll take the morning flight And wait no more.
When I left her behind There was nothing on my mind. About a love I never saw before. We both enjoyed the sun And time does smoothly run But I've lost my heart in old Mexico. I met her on the shore She's the one that I adore Ev'ry day when I was down in old Mexico. I miss her ev'ry day So I know I must away and go back to her In old Mexico.
I hear the guitars playin' every night . . .
