1
In old Mexico I stand on the square in Matamoros
2
Round a Plazza the couples were walking to music so sweet
3
I've found my love not too long ago in Matamoros
4
But I'm feeling low as the beggar who sits in the street
5
All the promises that she made me with eyes black as midnight
6
How could I know how fickle her promise would be
7
Now I'm back to find for I feel is mine in Matamoros
8
And there'll be bad trouble if I catch her cheating on me
9
Streets're narrow and dark and tequilla runs free in Matamoros
10
I stopped for one moment outside at Maguel's swinging doors
11
My heart breaks to hear the same haunting sounds of Granada
12
She once called it our song and vowed should be mine evermore
13
Then across the square went this wild young bracero I see her
14
Laughing and dancing and tossing her raven black hair
15
They'd may take a hand when I face this man from Matamoros
16
For the love of my woman is one thing that I'll never share
17
[ guitar ]
18
Now I walk in the night far away from the lights of Matamoros
19
And recall the last moments when I knew she loved me more than life
20
I can still hear her cry I love you and I'll prove it Manana
21
Then seeing my danger she jumped in front of his knife
22
I know the stories they'll tell in dimly casinos
23
Of the raven haired beauty who for her love laid dead on the floor
24
They'll speak of the fight with the gringo that night in Matamoros
25
And wonder what happened for he never returned anymore oh oh hoo
