Mexican Blood

She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood

I seen it the night that she died

She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood

Oh how she could drive that Mexican boy wild

He's on the run near El Paso

And he'll cross all across America

He's leaving behind old Mexico

And his girl that pretty Mexican girl that died

She had Mexican blood

He was a Mexican boy with a Mexican smile

And he drank a little tequila

He was a Mexican boy in a Mexican town

And oh how he loved his young senorita

Now and then he'd cross the Rio Grande

And he'd come back a wanted hunted man

And his Mexican girl was his Mexican prize

And that girl was his girl that pretty Mexican girl that died

She had Mexican blood

He was a cowboy's boy and a cowboy's son

And on his side he had a gun

He was a cowboy's boy, he was the law

He was out looking for someone

That night he rode into town

The Mexican boy tried to gun him down

That's when his heart broke up inside 'cause lying on the ground

Was his girl that pretty Mexican girl, she died

She had Mexican blood

He loved her and she loved him

And when he lost her

Oh how it hurt him

He loved her

I seen it the night she died

That's when he lost her

Now his heart is broken

He loved her and she loved him

And when he lost her he lost everything
