ACAPULCO MEXICO
(D Squires)

as recorded by Maureen Evans
1963


In Acapulco Mexico
I lost my heart not long ago,
When walking where the trade winds blow
In Acapulco Mexico,

The soft guitars, they seemed to say,
"You know that you'll be back someday,
You'll feel his lips on yours once more
In Acapulco Mexico!"

My tears I tried to hide
The night I knew we had to part.
I couldn't hide my tears,
I couldn't hide my broken heart!

Maybe he'll wait for me, and then
Two hearts will beat as one again,
Then never will I leave the shores
Of Acapulco Mexico!

My tears I tried to hide
The night I knew we had to part.
I couldn't hide my tears,
I couldn't hide my broken heart!

Maybe he'll wait for me, and then
Two hearts will beat as one again,
Then never will I leave the shores
Of Acapulco Mexico!  
Ole!
