Album: More Songs from Circe Link!
Track #5 Mexicali Rose

There is a Mexicali Rose out west
She is the kind of girl who cannot rest
Her heart goes traveling and she must go
When she will come again nobody knows

In the desert she is wandering
Through the sparkling night
Through the yellow sand Mojave
Guided by the moonlight
Mexicali Rose Mexicali Rose
Drifting on you might here her cry
For the desert that she loves

As seasons go on with changing time
You might just see her as she passes by
Listen hear her play her sad guitar
Singing her songs around a distant fire

Pass the canyons up onto the butte
Out into the great wild
Up upon the red rock reaching high
In the summer so mild
Mexicali Rose Mexicali Rose
Drifting on you might here her cry
For the desert that she loves

This song is true in case you don’t believe
She once passed through here though we didn’t meet
They say she wears a face of sunset skies
Never a bitter word just laughs and smiles

In the desert she is wandering
Through the sparkling night
Through the yellow sand Mojave
Guided by the moonlight
Mexicali Rose Mexicali Rose
Drifting on you might here her cry
For the desert that she loves
