Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you're down in Acuña
And you ain't up to being alone
Don't spend all your money
On just any honey that's grown
Go find the Mexican blackbird
And send all your troubles back home
[Verse 2]
They all call her puta
'Cause no one really knows her name
She works the cantina
Dancin' and a-lovin's her trade
Her mama was Mexican
And her daddy was the ace of spades
[Verse 3]
Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy
Said, keep your hands on the wheel there
[Verse 4]
Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it?
[Verse 5]
Now, you got it
Hand me another one of them brews from back there
[Verse 6]
Oh, this is gonna be so good
[Verse 7]
Mmm, she's hot as a pepper
But smooth as a Mexican brew
So head for the border
And put in an order or two
The Mexican blackbird we'll be there waitin' for you
Oh, one more time
