Hell, I would not curse the rain
In front of God and everybody
The line in time like a fool
Back in 1947 that's when
Makes a fool out of a man
And the law leaves you alone
I guess I'd been a train
If I'd never felt the sunshine
How that border crossing feeling
I'll believe it when I see it
Me and Louise Higgins Botham
Hell, I would not curse the rain
There ain't no God in Mexico
If I hadn't been railroaded
I politely blew my cool
Ain't no comfort in the kin
Ain't no way to understand
Well, pity me I didn't find
Gettin' busted by the man
I'm just looking for my hat
Don't mind me just keep on talking
And I haven't seen it yet
When you're down in Madamoris
If my feet could fit a railroad track
Ain't no God in Mexico
Used to chase across the yard
If I'd never felt the sunshine
Where the women folks are friendly
More than times were hard
