She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood

I seen it the night that she died

She was a Mexican girl, she had Mexican blood

Oh, how she could drive that Mexican boy wild He's on the run near El Paso

And he'll cross all across America

He's leaving behind old Mexico

And his girl, that pretty Mexican girl

That pretty Mexican girl that died She had Mexican blood, she had Mexican blood

She had Mexican blood He was a Mexican boy with a Mexican smile

And he drank a little tequila

He was a Mexican boy in a Mexican town

And oh, how he loved his young senorita Now and then, he'd cross the Rio Grande

And he'd come back, a wanted, hunted man

His Mexican girl was his Mexican prize

And that girl was his girl, that pretty Mexican girl

That pretty Mexican girl that died She had Mexican blood

She had Mexican blood He was a cowboy's boy and a cowboy's son

And on his side, he had a gun

He was a cowboy's boy, he was the law

He was out, looking for someone That night he rode into town

The Mexican boy tried to gun him down

That's when his heart broke up inside 'cause lying on the ground

Was his girl, his pretty Mexican girl, she died She had Mexican blood

She had Mexican blood

She had Mexican blood He loved her and she loved him

And when he lost her, oh, how it hurt him

He loved her, I seen it the night she died, and she loved him

That's when he lost her Now his heart is broken

He loved her and she loved him

And when he lost her he lost everything
