[C] When [F] Mexican Joe met Jole [C] Blon
|
Si, Si, [G7] Si, oui, oui, how they carried [C] on
|
He [F] held her tight and danced all night
|
And [C] crossed the border at daylight
|
When [G7] Mexican Joe met Jole [C] Blon.
|
|
Mexican Joe was wild and reckless
|
He walked into a honky-tonk in Texas
|
Looking for some real romance and pettin'
|
On a barroom stool alone this doll was settin'
|
|
He walked up to the bar and said, "I think I'll have a drink
|
Three fingers of tequilla; will clear my head, I think."
|
Well, she looked around and caught his eye
|
And Joe said, "I ... yi, yi, yi, yi."
|
When Mexican Joe met Jole Blon.
|
|
Joe said, "Lovely senorita
|
Let's go out and paint the town."
|
So he danced her and romanced her
|
And he showed that gal around
|
Jole Blon said, "I'm so hungry."
|
And she breathed a little sigh
|
So he fed her filet gumbo, enchiladas, on the side.
|
|
Then he held her close and whispered
|
"Will you be mine for life?
|
She said, "Oui, monsieur, but tell me
|
What'll we do about your wife?"
|
But he shouted, "Ah, Caramba
|
I think I'd better go."
|
So he swam he swam across the river
|
And went back to Mexico.
|
|
Repeat 1st verse.
