Lyric Maria

Oh Maria hands it out

she comes from Guatamala

she helps me get around

she helps when I m in trouble

when the ice cream hit the ground

The Federales they were a coming

she had made arrangements with a vendor

the stupid gringo - he got away

Now if I had a $100 s

and maracas in my hand

I d shake them for Maria

I d pressure her old man

to let me take her back to Texas In the white pickup truck

where she had done a dozen favors

to get me out of dutch

La...

Now we never spank the children

and the house is pretty small

and I never learned the language

of old Guatamal

but there are frijoles when I m hungry

and I drink tequila when I m dry

and the coffee is oh so good

and Maria hands it out

La...
