What's A Simple Man To Do

E
Dear Graciela, I'm writin' this 
letter
E                         B
Deep in the night and I'm all alone
B
It's nearly breakin' my heart to 
tell you
B                    E
I'm so far away from home
E
I know I said I'd never cross the 
border
E                      B
I know I promised to return to you

But I lost my job in the maquiladora

What's a simple man to do?


I met a man in Tijuana
Said he had a job for me to do
Standin' on a corner in San Diego
With a pocketful of red balloons
All I wanted was a little money
All I needed was a week or two
I never even saw the police comin'
What's a simple man to do?


Tell my mamma that I said I'm sorry
I know she didn't bring me up this 
way
Ask if she could light a candle for 
me
Pray that I'll come home someday
Oh Graciela, won't you please 
forgive me
I never meant to bring this shame to
 you
I lost my job in the maquiladora
