New Mexico

Oh how the wind it blows

Across the dusty plain

All those who came before

Were sworn now to remain

She said she loved me

I didn't even know her name

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

They left the bones in Mexico

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

Their voices warned me not to go

To Mexico

I heard the mission bells

Exposed life betrayed

The sin you need to hide

Is in the shadows of the grave

I feel the devil here

But its too late to run away

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Take me home sweet Mexico

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Their voices warned me not to go

I walked the winding trail

That led me to the grave

Their voices called to me and said

Gringo go away

Go over and bury your cries

As the sacrifice is made

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I left my bones in Mexico

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Their voices haunt me

They warned me not to go
