SPANISH TOWN
(Garland Jefferies)

Oh, Senorita when the evening sun goes down
I come to serenade you from another part of town

Raphaëla is my mother's name, she loves her Juan Hosé
My mother is a matriarche a Oh. What more can I say

Together they raised three children, Mario, Carmen and Ray
He lived in de Janeiro, on moon of beach e there

CHORUS

I'm gonna eat my rice and bean
I`m gonna suck on a chili dog
Away down in a Spanish Town, A in a Spanish Fall

Oh I'd love you to meet my friend Don Juan
He loves to play the mandolin
Senorita they gather round 'cuz they think that he's a Mexican
But I know so much better, I'm holding here.the proof
Don Juan is a Gringo boy, he's not telling us the truth

But he loves his rice and beans (or is it recipe?)
He's gonna suck on a chili dog
Away down in a Spanish Town
Ah, in the Spanish Fall

I'd love to meet Margarita
Margarita she is calling me and I love to hear my name
Out the lights and bring out the wine
It's fiesta time again

You know I love my
'Cuz she shows me what to do

All the roads they lead to Mexico
Oh Mehico, a-Mexico, a-Mehico, Mexico, Mehico, Mexico
But they bring me back too young

She's gonna eat your rice and beans
She's gonna suck on a chili dog
Away down in a Spanish Town
A in a Spanish Fall

Revolution is in the street
I can feel it in my blood
I can see
But they leave him at

Oh they're talking in the alleys of Old San Juan-a
San Juan, Oh San Juana
Oh the soldiers gonna walk the trail

Big sombreros see them everywhere
Your father land in jail

Ain't gonna eat no rice and beans
Ain't gonna suck on nobody's chili dog
Away down in Spanish Town
Ah in a Spanish Fall

Way down in Spanish Town...
