The Hollies - Mexico Gold lyrics
[The Hollies - Mexico Gold lyrics]
Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world
'Cause, I heard a lot of things
About the North American girls
I was looking for a lady
Someone to have my baby
So I got me on a 747 Pan-American plane
I sat me down next to your all-American dame
Said I'm going up north, she said it's a pity
Then she told about the gold
Down in Mexico City
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy
Watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get
You out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's
Going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Got off the plane
Went to the customs and they gave me a list
Do you carry a gun
Take drugs or are you Communist?
They said my papers were in order
I wasn't staying long, no sir
I'm going south across the border
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy
Watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get
You out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's
Going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Took the first southbound across
The Rio and down
Found a little peace in a small Mexico town
Just me and my lady now she's having my baby
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy
Watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get
You out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's
Going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy
Watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get
You out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's
Going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
