mexico gold lyrics

Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world
'cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls
I was looking for a lady
someone to have my baby

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
