INTRO
Lord, I'm going to Mexico, babe, and it won't be long
Lord, I'm going to Mexico, babe, and it won't be long
Lord, I'll disappear, like a bird along about dawn
Lord, I'm going to tell all the boys and girls I know
Lord, I'm going to tell all the boys and girls I know
That when I leave, I'm bound for Mexico
When I leave, baby, please don't cry after me
Lord, when I leave, baby, please don't cry after me
For when you dry your tears, I'll be forty miles on that Santa Fe
SOLO
Lord, these blues, these blues is coming down on me
Lord, these blues, these blues is coming down on me
Lord, I'm just as blue, just as blue as any man can be
And it's early tomorrow morning, just about half past four
Lord, early tomorrow morning, just about half past four
Lord, my baby's done quit me and I'm bound for Mexico
