lee roy parnell - mexican money lyrics
i been workin’ on the boats in galveston bay
holdin’ on to what i can when i draw my pay
i love a girl south of the rio grande
been savin’ up to bright her to the promised land
bring her to the promised land
well i got a few hundred but it ain’t too much
compared to just a smile from me one i love
so when i got a letter said she missed her man
i knew i was gonna have to change my plans
gonna have to change my plans
i’m gonna trade my dollars for mexican money
mexican money that’s what i need
gonna live forever with my mexican honey
she’s there waitin’ for me
[ guitar ]
well i left her standin’ down in the ocean breeze
promised i would build a life for her and me
but i can’t get ahead no matter how i try
i think it’s time that i was tellin’ texas goodbye
tellin’ ol’ texas goodbye
so tonight i’m headin’ down to the borderline
takin’ what i can leaving the rest behind
long as i’ve got her there’s one thing i know
i’ll be the richest man in mexico
richest man in mexico
i’m gonna trade my dollars for mexican money…
i’m gonna trade my dollars for mexican money…
