An outlaw stands in a peasant land
And in every face sees Judas
The burden of love is so strange The stubborn beast and the whiskey priest
Are hiding from the captains
The burden of love is so plain Are they happy to see you? No
You always bring trouble
Cast a shadow on Mexico, denial doesn't change facts Like most I'll come when I want things done
Please God don't let that change
The anguish of love at long range Should've been a doctor, oh
Then they can see what they're getting Oh no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more
Oh no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo Rob me of colour, make the sound duller, but never go away Through teeth of sharks the autumn barks,
And winter squarely bites me
Don't ever do this again Dawn breaks in the southern states
And blindfolded he rests
The burden of loves last request That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo Oh no, don't blame Mexico
They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more
Oh no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more Rob me of colour, make the sound duller, but never go away
