Ry Cooder - MEXICAN DIVORCE lyrics

(Burt Bacharach/Bob Hilliard)

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce

Down below El Paso lies Juarez

Mexico is different, like a travel folder says

Cross the Rio Grande and you will find

An old adobe house

Where you leave your past behind

One day married, next day free

Broken hearts for you and me

Takes no time, for you to get

A Mexican divorce

As I came into this lonely house last night

I looked at all my windows but I couldn't find one light

I found you on that road to Mexico

And now, my love, I beg

Please, oh, please, don't go

One day married, next day free

Broken hearts for you and me

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce

Finding love takes so long

Walking out must be wrong

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce

One day married, next day free

Broken hearts for you and me

It's a sin for you to get a Mexican divorce
