(D/F#**) Em D G
And I dream in the morning that she brings me water;
A A7 D D7
And I dream in the evening that she brings me wine.
G C G G
Just a poor man’s daughter from Puerta Peñasco

Evangelina, old Mexico.

D/F#** Em D G G
There’s a great hot desert, south of Mexicali;
A A7 D D7
If you don’t have water you’d better not go.

Tequilla won’t get you across that desert;
D D7 G G
to Evangelina, in old Mexico.
[Chorus]
Bm F C G
And the fire I feel for the woman I love is driving me insane;
D C G G
knowing she’s waiting and I can’t get there.

God only knows that I rack my brain to try to find a way,
D D7 G G
to reach that woman, in old Mexico.

I can tell that you love her by the look in your eyes now;
D D7 G G
She’s the rose of the desert in old Mexico.

D C G G
knowing she’s waiting, and I can’t get there.
