Evangelina Hoyt Axton
[G]And I dream in the [Em]morning,[D] that she brings me [G]water,
And I dream in [A7]evening, that she brings me [D]wine.
Just a poor man's [G]daughter,[C]
From Puerto Pe[G]nasco.
Evange[D]lina in old Mexi[G]co.
There's a great hot [Em]desert,[D] south of Mexi[G]cali.
And if you don't have [A7]water, boy you better not [D]go.
Tequila won't [G]get you,[C]
Across that [G]desert.
To Evange[D]lina in old Mexi[G]co.
And the [Bm]fire I feel for the [F]woman I love,
Is [C]driving me in[G]sane.
Knowing she's [D]waiting,
[C]And I can't [G]get there.
And [Bm]God only knows that I've [F]racked my brain,
To [C]try to find a [G]way,
To reach that [D]woman in old Mexi[G]co.
[Em]INST[D]RUM[G]ENT[A]AL [D] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G]
And I met a [Em]kind man,[D] he guarded the [G]border.
He said 'You don't need [A7]papers, I'll let you [D]go'.
I can tell that you [G]love her,[C]
By the look in your [G]eyes now.
She's the rose of the [D]desert,
In old Mexi[G]co.
And the [Bm]fire I feel for the [F]woman I love,
Is [C]driving me in[G]sane.
Knowing she's [D]waiting,
[C]And I can't [G]get there.
And [Bm]God only knows that I've [F]racked my brain,
To [C]try to find a [G]way,
To reach that [D]woman in old Mexi[G]co.
And I dream in the [Em]morning,[D] that she brings me [G]water,
And I dream in [A7]evening, that she brings me [D]wine.
Just a poor man's [G]daughter,[C]
From Puerto Pe[G]nasco.
South of the [D]border, in old Mexi[G]co.
Evange[D]lina I miss you [C]so,
I miss you [G]so.

Wonderful song from Hoyt's 1976 "Fearless" album. I changed the A chords to A7 and made minor lyric corrections. Using a bass run from the G down to Em chord at the start of the verses adds a nice touch.
