They All Went to Mexico
[Verse 1]
Where's my pal, where's my friend?
All good things must have an end
Sad things and nothings
On and on they go
I guess he went to Mexico
[Chorus]
They all went to Mexico
Buenos días, got to go
Tengo que obedecer
Mi corazón
They all went to Mexico
[Verse 2]
Where's my mule and where's my dray?
Straw hat's packed up and gone away
Mule don't go north and dray go slow
They both went to Mexico
Where's my sweetie, where's the face?
That lit dark corners every place
She put up with me long time, you know
And then she had to go to Mexico
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Wheres my brown dog, where's my hound?
He liked my truck, he hung around
But he's a canine romeo
And I guess he went to Mexico
Where's that woman so sweet, so mean?
Her heart was cautious, her mind was keen
She was always looking for the peccadillo
I hope she went to Mexico
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Where's December's happy crew?
With German bikes and sidecars too
They take the truck south to St. Louis, MO
Motorcycle all the way to Mexico
Where's my luck, and where's my grace?
Has it all been just a foolish chase?
Every time I hear that rainy chill wind blow
I think it might be time to head to Mexico
