Down in Mexico

(Bobby Bare - Skeets McDonald)



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 twenty one 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 the man as he fell

And then I heard the 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...
