I woke up to a bright summer morning
With the Mexican law on my trail
I′d been running for four days and nights
Shot a man who worked at the rail
At the rail

And I know I can't leave you
Mexico, I just can′t say goodbye
And I know I can't leave you
Mexico, I just can't say goodbye
I can′t say goodbye

They want to take me back for the trial
Let by the point of a gun
Gotta hang for killing that man
But it was a fair show-down in the sun in the sun


And I know I can′t leave you
Mexico, I just can't say goodbye
And I know I can′t leave you
Mexico, I just can't say goodbye
I can′t say goodbye

And I know I can't leave you
Mexico, I just can′t say goodbye
And I know I can't leave you
Mexico, I just can't say goodbye
I can′t say goodbye

I can′t say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
Mexico, I just can′t say goodbye

I can't say goodbye
I can′t say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
I can′t say goodbye

I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
I can′t say goodbye
I can′t say goodbye

I can't say goodbye
