[Verse]
C G F C G
Ivan found me yesterday, he said you were in jail
C G D
He worked the street for seven days, but he could not find the bail
C G D
He did not have the number, he was not supposed to call
G D Em C G D G C D G
But it doesn't matter, there's nothing I can do at all
[Chorus]
C D G F C G
Don't go to Mexico, the border has gone dry__
C D G D
Don't go to Mexico, they'll take you if you try
C G D G
I can't go your bail if you wind up in a Mexican jail
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C G F C G
It hurts to know the way you sat and laughed right in my face
C G D
When I told you not to go, you thought I was out of place
C G D
But you cannot cross the border not expecting to be burned
G D Em C G D G C D G
And I can't keep on giving and get nothing in return
[Chorus]
C D G F C G
Don't go to Mexico, the border has gone dry__
C D G D
Don't go to Mexico, they'll take you if you try
C G D G
I can't go your bail if you wind up in a Mexican jail
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C G F C G
But tomorrow I'll be on the street, just to try to find a friend
C G D
I hope that I can find someone with the money that he can lend
C G D
Then I'll send it down to Juarez, if you can follow it across your sky
G D Em C G D G C D G
Then you will know I love you, though I can't remember why
[Outro]
C D G F C G
A-don't go to Mexico, the border has gone dry__
C D G F C G
Don't go to Mexico, the border has gone dry__
C D G F C G
Don't go to Mexico, the border has gone dry__
C D G F C G
Don't go to Mexico, the border has gone dry__
C D G F C G
Don't go to Mexico, the border has gone dry__
