The Lemonheads - New Mexico lyrics

Oh how the wind it blows
Across the dusty plain
All those who came before were
Sworn now to remain she said she loved me
I didn't even know her name

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
They left the bones in Mexico
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Their voices warned me not to go to Mexico

I heard the mission bells
Exposed life betrayed
The sin you need to hide is
In the shadows of the grave
I feel the devil here but it's
Too late to run away

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Take me home, sweet Mexico
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Their voices warned me not to go

I walked the winding trail that
Led me to the grave
Their voices called to me and said, "Gringo
Go away" the Virgin Mary cries as
The sacrifice is made

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I left my bones in Mexico whoa, whoa, whoa
Their voices haunt me
They warned me not to go
