New Mexico lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


[Verse 1]
Oh how the wind it blows across the dusty plain
All those who came before were sworn now to remain
She said she loved me, I didn't even know her name

[Chorus 1]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
They left the bones in Mexico
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Their voices warned me not to go to Mexico

[Verse 2]
I heard the mission bells, exposed life betrayed
The sin you need to hide is in the shadows of the grave
I feel the devil here but its too late to run away

[Chorus 2]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Take me home, sweet Mexico
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Their voices warned me not to go

[Verse 3]
I walked the winding trail that led me to the grave
Their voices called to me and said, "Gringo, go away"
The Virgin Mary cries as the sacrifice is made
[Chorus 3]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I left my bones in Mexico
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Their voices haunt me, they warned me not to go
