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    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       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       chorus       Took the first southbound    across the Rio and down    Found a little place in the small Mexico town    Just me and my lady    now she's having my baby       chorus x2
