In a bar in Acuna called Ma Crosby's
I found myself not feeling any pain
I told a Frisco girl I'd come for freedom
She said she'd only come to catch a train

We struck up some idle conversation
Traded all the troubles on our minds
One thing led to another in the evenin'
And I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time

The daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio
In a rundown motel room as dark as hell
I felt all the pains of the mornin' after
And all alone as far as I could tell

Why she left I had no way o' knowin'
Guess she caught her train and that's a crime
She took ev'rything I ever wanted
And I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico..............FADE
