Lyrics Calexico – Frank’s Tavern

Down in south Tucscon
To Frank’s Place I made it one night
My heart never intended a battle or fight
Mario fed me my courage

For I love the girl in the white dress
Who danced the corrido
Yo quiero mi vida she blinded my sight
Blinded my sight

All spanish eyes were upon me
As I played the song
But they just couldn’t read me

For I love the girl in the white dress
Who danced the corrido
Yo quiero mi vida she blinded my sight
Blinded my sight

She danced and I waited
To catch one glimpse of her eye
Her sister and vieja
Already planned my demise
I’m getting wobbly
I’m getting too weak to stand

For I love the girl in the white dress
Who danced the corrido
Yo quiero mi vida she blinded my sight
Blinded my sight

All spanish eyes were upon me
As I played the song
But they just couldn’t read me
