Mexico Gold Songtext

So I got me on a 747 Pan-American plane

I sat me down next to your all-American dame

Said I'm going up north

she said it's a pity

Then she told about the gold

down in Mexico City



Oh she said "Lordy Lordy

watch the blue smoke flying

every morning and every night
to get you out of your head

Oh man oh Lordy Lordy it's a natural high

when you're living down south

and it's going right out of your head



Got off the plane went to the customs

and they gave me a list

Do you carry a gun take drugs or are you Communist

They said my papers were in order

I wasn't staying long no sir

I'm going south across the border



chorus



Took the first southbound

across the Rio and down

Found a little place in the small Mexico town

Just me and my lady

now she's having my baby
