Evangelina

 G                  Em         D 
And I dream in the morning,      
                     G
 that she brings me water;
G                    A       A7 
And I dream in the evening,     
                     D    D7
 that she brings me wine.
                     G       C 
Just a poor man’s daughter,      
                 G
from      Puerta Pinasco
      D     D7          G
Evangelina,      Old Mexico.


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

       Bm                F        
And the Fire I feel for the woman 
          C          G
I love,  Is driving me insane;
                D      D7         
knowing she’s waiting,      and I 
           G
can’t get there.
 Bm                    F          
God only knows that I rack my

brain to try to find a way,
                D     D7       
to reach that woman,      in old 
     G
Mexico.



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