I'm down in Mexico
Had to go
Won't be home no more
I want mom and dad to know
I miss and love them so
Though I'll never see them anymore
The day that I turned twenty one
I could hardly wait
To say goodbye to mom and dad
And shake the hand of fate
Fate was with me from the start
Until that fateful day
A big man he took my sweetheart
And I took his life away
Now I'm down in Mexico
Had to go
Won't be home no more
I want mom and dad to know
I miss and love them so
Though I'll never see them anymore
I stood and watched the man as he fell
And then I heard the policemen's whistle blow
And when I thought about that prison cell
I thought about old Mexico
Now I'm down in Mexico
Had to go
Won't be home no more
I want mom and dad to know
I miss and love them so
Though I'll never see them anymore
