Downtown Tijuana. I was born in a little red shed
My mama cared for me
And my papa. Took me to the great blue sea
With a big white summer hat
When I left my family. I was not very old
Mama can you hear me'

So I take my big white hat. And I'm coming home
So I take my big white hat. And I'm coming home
Sister make ends meet. Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat
Sister make ends meet. Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat

Downtown Albuquerque. I was living on my own
No mama cared for me
And no papa. Took me to the great blue sea
This is bad. Don't you agree'
When I left my family. I was not very old
Mama can you hear me'

When you're far away from home
There's a promise and a prayer
Oh so far away from home
Just a promise and a prayer
So I take my big white hat. And I'm coming home
So I take my big white hat. And I'm coming home
Sister make ends meet. Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat
Sister make ends meet. Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat
