Mexicali Rose stop crying
I'll come back tou you some sunny day
Mexicali Rose stop sighing
Vanish all your heartaches away

Dry you big brown eyes and smile dear
Vanish all your heartaches away
Mexicali Rose stop crying
I'll come back tou you some sunny day
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mexicali Rose stop crying
I'll come back tou you some sunny day
Mexicali Rose stop sighing
Vanish all your cares away

Dry you big brown eyes and smile dear
Vanish all your heartaches away
Mexicali Rose stop crying
I'll come back tou you some sunny day
Oh, dry your eyes my Mexicali Rose

DEKE DICKERSON VERSION (HIGHTONE, 1998)

Mexicali Rose please stop your crying
I'm coming back again some sunny day
You know dear, every hour I'm twining
Every hour those tears will come my way

Well, dry you big brown eyes and smile dear
Honey, stars in heaven, please don't cry
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose goodbye

Mexicali Rose please stop your crying
I'm coming back again some sunny day
You know dear, every hour I'm twining
Every hour those tears will come my way

Well, now dry you big brown eyes and smile dear
Honey, stars in heaven, please don't cry
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose goodbye, goodbye
I said a-Mexicali Rose goodbye
