I`m down in Mexico had to go won`t be home no more
I want mom and dad to know I miss and love them so
Though I`ll never see them anymore
The day that I turned twenty one I could hardly wait
To say goodbye to mom and dad and shake the hand of fate
Fate was with me from the start until that fateful day
A big man he took my sweetheart and I took his life away
Now I`m down in Mexico...
I stood and watched the man as he fell and then I heard the policemen`s whistle blow
And when I thought about that prison cell I thought about old Mexico
Now I`m down in Mexico...
