Hoyt Axton Evangelina Lyrics
And I dream in the morning she brings me water
And I dream in the evening she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter from Puerta Pinasco Evangelina in old Mexico
There's a great hot desert south of Mexicali
If you don't have water boy you'd better not go
Tequila won't get you across that desert to Evangelina in old Mexico
And the fire I feel for the woman I love is drivin' me insane
Knowing she's waiting and I can't get there
God only knows that I wracked my brain to try and find the way
To reach that woman in old Mexico
( ac.guitar )
And I met a kind man he guarded the border
He said you don't need papers I'll let you go
I can tell that you love her by the look in your eyes now
She's the rose of the desert in old Mexico
And the fire I feel for the woman..
And I dream in the morning...
My Evangelina I miss you so I miss you so

I really think Hoyt was disappointed that it didn't chart much higher than it did, and that's why he released it a second time on a subsequent album about 2-3 years later. I guess he hoped maybe the first time it was just a fluke (possibly being topped by some smash hits of other artists at that time?) but unfortunately it didn't do much better upon the second release. 😢
I always wonder when someone comes up with these heart felt lyrics like this. I always think its a true story. or someone lived it
Hoyt Axton was an American Treasure , He had a great voice
My favorite Hoyt Axton song.
Really pretty song... Hoyt was a great singer/songwriter. Loved his voice and big, big heart.
