Evangelina Songtext
von Colter Wall

And I dream in the morning
That she brings me water
And I dream in the evening
That she brings me wine
Just a poor man′s daughter
From Puerto Peñasco
South of the border
In old Mexico

There's a great hot desert
South of Mexicali
And if you don′t got water
You'd better not go
Tequila won't get you
Across that desert
To Evangelina
In old Mexico


And the fire I feel for the woman I love
Is drivin′ me insane
Knowin′ she's waitin′
And I can't get there
God only knows that I wracked my brain
To try to find a way
To reach that woman
In old Mexico

I met a kind man
He guarded the border
He said, "You don′t need papers
I'll let you go
I can tell that you love her
By the look in your eyes now"
She′s the rose of the desert
Of old Mexico

And the fire I feel for the woman I love
Is driving me insane
Knowing she's waiting
And I can't get there
God only knows that I wracked my brain
To try to find a way
To reach that woman
In old Mexico


And I dream in the morning
That she brings me water
And I dream in the evening
That she brings me wine
Just a poor man′s daughter
From Puerto Peñasco
South of the border
In old Mexico
Evangelina, I miss you so
