Bobby Bare - Down In Mexico lyrics

I'm down in Mexico had to go won't be home no more

I want mom and dad to know I miss and love them so

Though I'll never see them anymore

The day that I turned twenty one I could hardly wait

To say goodbye to mom and dad and shake the hand of fate

Fate was with me from the start until that fateful day

A big man he took my sweetheart and I took his life away

Now I'm down in Mexico...

I stood and watched the man as he fell and then I heard the policemen's whistle blow

And when I thought about that prison cell I thought about old Mexico

Now I'm down in Mexico...
