Verlon Thompson performs Mexico’s Daughter

Holed up in Costilla NM. Put me in the mood for this song.
Mexico's Daughter
(Verlon Thompson/Frank Serio)
Saturday night was just getting started
Out beneath the Cantina lights
Mexico's Daughter wore Mexican silver
And jangled her way into Mexico's night
With mission bells ringing and sweet angels singing
She was born out beneath Sonora's full moon
And the sounds and the colors of Old Mexico
Found their way on the wind up into her room
She moved with a grace and a reckless abandon
She wore scarlet roses tied in her hair
The stars hung down just a little bit lower
To watch as she moved in the cool midnight air
Saturday night was just getting started
Out beneath the Cantina lights
Mexico's Daughter wore Mexican silver
And jangled her way into Mexico's night
She shared a drink with a dark desperado
And the sweetness of the whiskey loosened the night
She was laughing and spinning around on her heels
With a Devil may care look in her eyes
He pulled her close out on the veranda
They kissed and he held her young body so tight
But a rifle was aimed at the dark desperado
As Mexico's Daughter stepped into it's sights
The trigger was touched
The hammer was falling
The barrel was smoking
The bullet took flight
Red blood and dust mixed with roses and silver
And Mexico's Daughter was lost to the night
Saturday night was just getting started
Out beneath the Cantina lights
Mexico's Daughter wore Mexican silver
And jangled her way into Mexico's night

Super. I’m gonna go play my guitar now, so inspiring. My favorite players are the one’s who sing as well. Greetings from Sweden, Verlon 🇸🇪

Bravo! Great song! I like when it goes to the C#m. Also, that's a lotta stickers on your case.
