Bay of Mexico

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been thinkin' 'bout a place I once knew well 'Bout a girl I left across yonder bay But I promise you one thing, my pretty darlin' I know I'll see you on another day [Chorus] I may meet you on a mountain city Or on the plains where the north wind blows I may see you by the southern waters Or by the Bay of Mexico [Verse 2] Now, the days are gettin' dark and chilly The river's frozen, the meadows wrapped in snow My heart is longin' for your singin' breezes Down where the golden rivers flow [Chorus] So I may meet you on a mountain city Or on the plains where the north wind blows I may see you by the southern watеrs Or by the Bay of Mexico [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Now, you may think I'm only talkin' You may think I'm only gonna break your hеart But I know where the grass is growin' One true love may finally get its start [Chorus] So I may meet you on a mountain city Or on the plains where the north wind blows I may see you by the southern waters Or by the Bay of Mexico [Verse 4] Now, I think I'm headin' for greener pastures My train is travelin' on a straighter road I think I'm learnin' things I've never learned before And a hundred other things I never knowed [Chorus] So I may meet you on a mountain city Or on the plains where the north wind blows I may see you by the southern waters Or by the Bay of Mexico
