Veracruz Songtext
von Pierce Pettis

When the night comes rolling in
My thoughts roll back to you
And I′m holding you again
On nights in Veracruz

When the train whistle blows
It blows me clean away
Back to old Mexico
Sometimes I call your name

Oh, mi corazon (mi vida, ooo, mi corazon)
What am I to do?
If I could only hold on ... to nights in Veracruz


Down the old cobbled streets
Ran the rosa linda moon
Where as lovers we would meet
You were my passion fruit

With that smile on your face
How could I refuse
Now I long for one more taste
Of nights in Veracruz

Well, the sun is coming up
Dogs are barking, rooster crows
Black coffee in my cup
And a chill down in my bones

Oh, but once upon a time
There's a place that I once knew
Where dark eyes still shine
On nights in Veracruz
