EVANGELINA
Hoyt Axton 1975
G Em D G
And I dream in the morning, that she brings me water;
G A A7 D D7
And I dream in the evening, that she brings me wine.
G C G
Just a poor man�s daughter, from Porta Pen~asco;
D D7 G
Evangelina, Old Mexico.
G Em D G
There�s a great hot desert, South of Mexicalli;
G A A7 D D7
If you don�t have water, you�d better not go.
G C G
Tequilla won�t get you, across that desert;
D D7 G
to Evangelina, in Old Mexico.
(CHORUS)
F#m F C G
And the Fire I feel for the woman I love, Is driving me insane;
D D7 G
knowing she�s waiting, and I can�t get there.
F#m F C G
God only knows that I rack my brain to try to find a way,
D D7 G
to reach that woman, in old Mexico.
G Em D G
And I met a kind man, he guarded the Border;
G A A7 D D7
He said you don�t need papers, I�ll let you go.
G C G
I can tell that you love her, by the look in your eyes now;
D D7 G
She�s the rose of the desert, in old Mexico.
(CHORUS)
F#m F C G
And the Fire I feel for the woman I love, Is driving me insane;
D D7 G
knowing she�s waiting, and I can�t get there.
F#m F C G
God only knows that I rack my brain to try to find a way,
D D7 G
to reach that woman, in old Mexico.
G Em D G
And I dream in the morning, that she brings me water;
G A A7 D D7
And I dream in the evening, that she brings me wine.
G C G
Just a poor man�s daughter, from Porta Pen~asco;
D D7 G
South of the Border, in old Mexico.
D D7 C G
Evangelina, I miss you so. I miss you so.
