Mexican Blood

[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
