Lyrics for Song: Mexican Joe
Lyrics for Album: Bag of Country Gold Hits (Wing) [1968]
(Mitchell Torok)
South of the border hey I know a lad
He's got more fun than anybody's had
He don't got no worry cause he don't got no dough
And ev'rybody's wonderin' bout Mexican Joe.
In ole Mexico they call him the Rhumba King
He leads all the women around on a string
When they go out they get a million thrills
But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills.
Dancin', romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe.
--- Instrumental ---
He makes all the night spots all along the bay
People want to see him when he comes their way
He spreads so much joy ev'rywhere he goes
And ev'rybody shouts Viva la Mexican Joe.
He likes to gamble at poker he's an ace
He's always so lucky with cards that have a face
At winnin' the money he's sure a whiz
But when they win they don't collect 'cause they don't know where he is.
Dancin', romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe.
Dancin', romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe.
Well, dancin', romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe...
