Sweet Baby James

Way down here you need a reason to move
Feel a fool running your stateside games
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, baby james

Oh, mexico
It sounds so simple i just got to go
The sun's so hot i forgot to go home
Guess i'll have to go now

"americano" got the sleepy eye
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
Sleepy "señorita" with the eyes on fire

Oh, mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon's so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right

Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard

Oh, down in mexico
I never really been so i don't really know
Oh, mexico
I guess i'll have to go

Oh, mexico
I never really been but i'd sure like to go
Oh, mexico
I guess i'll have to go now
