C F
In old Mexico I stand on the square in Matamoros
G7 C
Round the plaza the couples are walking to music so sweet
C F
I found my love not too long ago in Matamoros
G7 C
But I’m feeling low as the beggar who sits in the street
F
Oh the promises that she made with eyes black as midnight
D7 G7
How could I know how fickle her promise could be
C F
Now I’m back to find what I feel is mine in Matamoros
G7 C
And there’ll be bad trouble if I catch her cheating on me
C F
Streets are narrow and dark and Tequila runs free in Matamoros
G7 C
I stop for one moment outside of Miguel’s swinging door
C F
My heart breaks to hear the same haunting sound of Grenada
G7 C
She once called it our song and vowed she’d be mine evermore
F
Then across the square with this wild young Vaquero I see her
D7 G7
Laughing and dancing and tossing her raven black hair
C F
Fate may take a hand when I face this man from Matamoros
G7 C
For the love of my woman is one thing that I'll never share
C F
Now I walk in the night far away from the lights of Matamoros
G7 C
And recall the last moments when I knew she loved me more than life
C F
I can still hear her cry I love you and I’ll prove it Mañana
G7 C
Then seeing my danger she jumped in front of his knife
F
I know the stories they’ll tell in the dim lit casinos
D7 G7
Of the raven haired beauty who for her love lay dead on the floor
C F
They’ll speak of the fight with the gringo that night in Matoamoros
G7 C
And wonder what happened for he never returned anymore
