If you're down in Acuna, and you ain't up to being alone
Don't spend all your money
On just any honey that's grown
Go find the Mexican blackbird
And send all your troubles back home
They all call her "Puta"
'Cause no one really knows her name
She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade
Her mama was Mez'can, and her daddy was the ace of spades
Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler to Mexico, boy
Said, keep your hands on the wheel there
Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it?
Now, you got it
Hand me another one of them brews back there
Oh, this is gonna be so good
ย
She's hot as a pepper
But smooth as a Mexican brew
So head for the border, and put in an order or two
The Mexican blackbird will be there waiting for you
Oh, one more time
ย
