Mexicali Rose stop crying I'll come back to you some sunny day
Every night you'll know that I'll be pining every hour a year while I'm away
Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear
Vanish all those tears and please don't cry
Kiss me once again and hold me Mexicali Rose goodbye

I'll come back to you some sunny day

Every hour a year while I'm away
Dry those big brown eyes
