If you're down in Acuna
And you ain't up to being alone
ย
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.
ย
They all call her her, "Puta"
'Cause no one really knows her name
ย
She works the cantina
Dancin' and a-lovin's her trade
ย
Her mama was Mez'can
And her daddy was the ace of spades.
Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy.
ย
Said, keep your hands on the wheel there
ย
Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it?
Now, ya got it
Hand me another one of them brews from back there.
ย
Oh, this is gonna be so good.
ย
She's hot as a pepper
But smooth as a Mexican brew
ย
So head for the border
And put in an order or two
ย
The wings of the blackbird
Will spread like an eagle for you.
Oh, one more time
ย
Can you roll me another Bull Durham, please?
Can't you do it with one hand, boy?
