[Verse 1]
And I [G]dream in the morn[Em]ing[D]
that she brings me wa[G]ter
I dream in the [A]evening that
she brings me [D]wine
She's just a poor man's [G]daughter
[C]from Pue[G]rto Peñasco
Evan[D]gelina, old Mexico
[G]

[Verse 2]
And there's a great hot
[Em]dese[D]rt south of Me[G]xicali
And if you don't have wa[A]ter,
boy, you [Em]better [A]not [D]go
Tequila won't [G]get [C]you
across that deser[G]t
To Evan[D]gelina, old Mexico
[G]

[Verse 3]
And [Bm]the fire I feel for the [F]woman
I love is [C]drivin' me insane
[G]Knowin' she's wai[D]tin'
[C]and I can't get[G] there
And [Bm]God only knows that I [F]wracked
my brain [C]to try to find a [G]way
To reach that wo[D]man, old Mexico
[G]

[Verse 4]
And I met [Em]a kind man,
[D]seems he guarded the border
[G]He said, "You don't need no pa [A]pers,
I will let you [D]go
For I can tell that you [G]love [C]her by
the look in your eye[G]s, boy
She's the rose of the deser
[D]t in old Mexico"
[G]

[Verse 5]
And [Bm]the fire I feel for the [F]woman I
love is [C]drivin' me in[G]sane
Knowin' [D]she's [C]waitin'
and I can't [G]get there
And [Bm]God only knows that I [F]wracked
my brain [C]to try to find a [G]way
To reach that [D]woman, old Mexico
[G]

[Verse 6]
And I dream in the [Em]morni[D]ng
that she brings [G]me water
I dream [A]in the evening that
she brings me [D]wine
She's just a poor [G]man's [C]daughter
from [G]Puerto Peñasco
[D]Evangelina, old Mexico
[G]Evangel[D]ina, I miss you[C] so
[G]
