(Burt Bacharach/Bob Hilliard) 



It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce 



Down below El Paso lies Juarez 

Mexico is different, like a travel folder says 

Cross the Rio Grande and you will find 

An old adobe house 

Where you leave your past behind 



One day married, next day free 

Broken hearts for you and me 

Takes no time, for you to get 

A Mexican divorce 



As I came into this lonely house last night 

I looked at all my windows but I couldn't find one light 

I found you on that road to Mexico 

And now, my love, I beg 

Please, oh, please, don't go 



One day married, next day free 

Broken hearts for you and me 

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce 



Finding love takes so long 

Walking out must be wrong 

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce 



One day married, next day free 

Broken hearts for you and me 

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce
