[Verse 1]
She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood
I seen it the night that she died
She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood
Oh, how she could drive that Mexican boy wild
[Pre-Chorus]
He's on the run near El Paso
And he'll cross all across America
He's leaving behind old Mexico
And his girl, that pretty Mexican girl
That pretty Mexican girl that died
[Chorus]
She had Mexican blood (That pretty little señorita)
She had Mexican blood
She had Mexican blood
[Verse 2]
He was a Mexican boy with a Mexican smile
And he drank a little tequila
He was a Mexican boy in a Mexican town
And, oh, how he loved his young señorita
[Pre-Chorus]
Now and then he'd cross the Rio Grande
And he'd come back a wanted, hunted man
His Mexican girl was his Mexican prize
And that girl was his girl, that pretty Mexican girl
That pretty Mexican girl that died
[Chorus]
She had Mexican blood
She had Mexican blood
[Drum Solo]
[Verse 3]
He was a cowboy's boy and a cowboy's son
And on his hide, he had a gun
He was a cowboy's boy, he was the law
He was out lookin' for someone
[Pre-Chorus]
The night he rode into town
The Mexican boy tried to gun him down
That's when his heart broke up inside
'Cause lyin' on the ground was his girl
His pretty Mexican girl, she died
[Chorus]
She had Mexican blood
She had Mexican blood (He loved her)
She had Mexican blood (And she loved him)
She had Mexican blood (And when he lost her)
She had Mexican blood (Oh, how it hurt him)
She had Mexican blood (He loved her)
I seen it the night she died
She had Mexican blood (And she loved him)
She had Mexican blood (That's when he lost her)
She had Mexican blood (Now his heart's broken)
She had Mexican blood (He loved her)
She had Mexican blood (And she loved him)
She had Mexican blood (And when he lost her)
She had Mexican blood (He lost everything)
She had Mexican blood (And when he lost her)
She had Mexican blood (He's lost everything)
She had Mexican blood
