Down in Mexico lives a girl I know
she's so far from here but she is also near
'cause she's always in my head
and I just can't forget that she belongs to me
though she's oversea's
she's living near the border
but she ignores my order to leave this mean Chicano
she's still, as far as I know, down in Mexico
down in Mexico

I've sent ten telegrams:
"come back to your man"
you think it funny baby, don't wanna hear no maybe
and I won't stop my praying
as long as you are staying down in Mexico
down down in Mexico
