Lights along the border
Two more lonely hours and I can go
Across the Rio Grande and Laredo
Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waitin’ in Old Mexico

She’s a rich Senor’s daughter
And he sure ain’t gonna like it when he knows
But I damn sure fight him and half of Texas
‘Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waitin’ in Old Mexico

High Sierra
Where evening breeze blows the tumbleweeds along
My Sombrero
And there’s million stars and a thousand guitars
Always playing my song

Just a wild crazy cowboy
And I still don’t like the way they rodeo
But I’ll give up my wild oats for her sweet love
‘Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waitin’ in Old Mexico

High Sierra
Down where evening breeze blows the tumbleweeds along
My Sombrero
And there’s million stars and a thousand guitars
Always playing my song

Lights along the border
Two more lonely hours and I can go
‘Cross the Rio Grande and Laredo
Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waitin’ in Old Mexico

Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waitin’ in Old Mexico
