I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
I feel sad 'cause she's out of sight
I'll take the morning flight
Going back is right.
I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
Telling me I have to see my bride
I'll take the morning flight
And wait no more

I do not know her name
I've thought she was the same
As the girls I left behind in Mexico
Tequila, sun and fun
And nothing to be done
But I've lost my heart in old Mexico

I left her there behind
She was always in my mind
The little girl I met in old Mexico
I miss her ev'ry day
So I know I must away and go back
To her In old Mexico.

I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
I feel sad 'cause she's out of sight
I'll take the morning flight
Going back is right
I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
Telling me I have to see my bride
I'll take the morning flight
And wait no more

When I left her behind
There was nothing on my mind.
About a love I never saw before
We both enjoyed the sun
And time does smoothly run
But I've lost my heart in old Mexico
I met her on the shore
She's the one that I adore
Ev'ry day when I was down in Mexico.
I miss her ev'ry day
So I know I must away and go back
To her In old Mexico

I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
I feel sad 'cause she's out of sight
I'll take the morning flight
Going back is right
I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
Telling me I have to see my bride
I'll take the morning flight
And wait no more

I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
I feel sad 'cause she's out of sight
I'll take the morning flight
Going back is right
I hear the guitars playin' ev'ry night
Telling me I have to see my bride
I'll take the morning flight
And wait no more
