The Nat “King” Cole Trio
Flo And Joe

Down in Mexico
You'll find a gal named Flo
Flo's in Mexico
To find a guy named Joe

Joe's in Mexico
To get away from Flo
He took all his dough
Way back in Idaho

She was fat and over 40
But he held her in his arms
And he told her that he loved her
For her charms

Then he said he needed money
So she gave him all her cash
And he headed for the border
Like a flash

Down in Mexico
You'll find a gal named Flo
Flo's in Mexico
To get her hands on Joe

Joe's in Mexico
Hе's spending all her dough
Poor Flo's full'a woe
Sincе Joe left Idaho
[Instrumental Break]

They were ready to be married
She was waitin' at the church
But he hit the road an' left her
In the lurch

Down, down, down, in Mexico
You'll find a gal named Flo
Flo's in Mexico
To try and get her dough

Joe left Mexico
One step ahead of Flo
He spent all her dough
On everyone but Flo

Poor Flo
