Key: :[G#] (w: Buddy Kaye, Ethel Lee, David Hess)
INTRO: [*R1]
SPOKEN:
It was a moonlight night in old Mexico
I walked along between some old adobe haciendas
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl
CHORUS:
La, la,
[G#] laaaaa,
La, la, la, la, la, la,
[Fm] laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la,
[C#] laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la,
[D#] laaaaa
VERSE 1:
You'd better come home, Speedy Gon-
[G#]-zales
Away from Cannery
[Fm] Row
Stop all your
[C#] drinkin'
With that floozie named
[D#] Flo
VERSE 2:
Come on home to your ado-
[G#]-be
And slap some mud on the
[Fm] wall
The roof is leakin' like a
[C#] strainer
[D#] There's lots of roaches in the
[G#] hall
[C#] [G# open]
BRIDGE:
Speedy Gon-
[C#]-zales, why don't you come
[G#] home?
Speedy Gon-
[C#]-zales, how come you leave me all a-
[D#]-lone?
SPOKEN:
Hey, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown for my mother
She needs some tortillas and chili peppers
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
Your dog is gonna have a
[G#] puppy
And we're runnin' out of
[Fm] Coke
No enchiladas in the
[C#] icebox
And the television's
[D#] broke
VERSE 4:
I saw some lipstick on your
[G#] sweatshirt
I smell some perfume in your
[Fm] ear
Well, if you're gonna keep a-
[C#]-messin'
[D#] Don't bring your business back-a
[G#] here
[C#] [G# open]
REPEAT BRIDGE:
SPOKEN:
Hey, Rosita, come quick; down at the Cantina
they've got some green stamps with tequila
REPEAT CHORUS:
