Lyrics Mexican Money - Lee Roy Parnell
I
been
workin'
on
the
boats
in
Galveston
Bay
Holdin'
on
to
what
I
can
when
I
draw
my
pay
I
love
a
girl
south
of
the
Rio
Grande
Been
savin'
up
to
bright
her
to
the
promised
land
Bring
her
to
the
promised
land
Well
I
got
a
few
hundred
but
it
ain't
too
much
Compared
to
just
a
smile
from
me
one
I
love
So
when
I
got
a
letter
said
she
missed
her
man
I
knew
I
was
gonna
have
to
change
my
plans
Gonna
have
to
change
my
plans
I'm
gonna
trade
my
dollars
for
Mexican
money
Mexican
money
that's
what
I
need
Gonna
live
forever
with
my
Mexican
honey
She's
there
waitin'
for
me
[ Guitar
]
Well
I
left
her
standin'
down
in
the
ocean
breeze
Promised
I
would
build
a
life
for
her
and
me
But
I
can't
get
ahead
no
matter
how
I
try
I
think
it's
time
that
I
was
tellin'
Texas
goodbye
Tellin'
ol'
Texas
goodbye
So
tonight
I'm
headin'
down
to
the
borderline
Takin'
what
I
can
leaving
the
rest
behind
Long
as
I've
got
her
there's
one
thing
I
know
I'll
be
the
richest
man
in
Mexico
Richest
man
in
Mexico
I'm
gonna
trade
my
dollars
for
Mexican
money...
I'm
gonna
trade
my
dollars
for
Mexican
money...
