Adios Mexico, Adios Mexico
How I got along without ya, I never know
Now it's adios Mexico

I got a little chavala
Down there in Lake, Lake Chapala
Adios Mexico

Well, a sweet señorita is waiting for me
Down there in Ajijic and I love her
Adios Mexico

Adios Mexico, Adios Mexico
How I got along without ya, I never know
Now it's adios Mexico

(instrumental break)

Adios Mexico, Adios Mexico
How I got along without ya, I never know
Now it's adios Mexico

Well, a sweet señorita is waiting for me
Down there in Ajijic and I love her
Adios Mexico

Adios Mexico, Adios Mexico
How I got along without ya, I never know
Now it's adios Mexico
