 G                  Em         D                      GAnd I dream in the morning,       that she brings me water;
G                    A       A7                      D    D7 And I dream in the evening,      that she brings me wine.
                     G       C                  G Just a poor man’s daughter,      from Porta Pen~asco;

G                     Em      D                G There’s a great hot desert,       South of Mexicalli;
G                   A      A7                   D    D7 If you don’t have water,       you’d better not go.
                G        C                  G Tequilla won’t get you,       across that desert;
         D     D7           G to Evangelina,    in Old Mexico.

G            Em        D                   G And I met a kind man,      he guarded the Border;
G                        A       A7               D    D7 He said you don’t need papers,       I’ll let you go.
                     G         C                         G I can tell that you love her,       by the look in your eyes now;
                      D       D7            G She’s the rose of the desert,     in old Mexico.
