[Verse 1]
Mexicali Rose, stop crying
I'll come back to you some sunny day
Every night you'll know that I'll be pining
Every hour a year while I'm away

[Verse 2]
Dry those big brown eyes and smile, dear
Banish all those tears and please don't sigh
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose, goodbye

[Bridge]
All the while I'll just be yearning
Lonesome too
Counting days till I'm returning
Dear, to you

[Verse 3]
Dry those big brown eyes and smile, dear
Banish all those tears and please don't sigh
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose, goodbye
