Lyrics for Veracruz by Warren Zevon:
| | | Artist: | Warren Zevon |
| | Album: | Excitable Boy | | Track: | Veracruz | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 287 | | | | Lyrics: | I heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
I heard Maria crying
Late last night I heard the
news
That Veracruz was dying
Veracruz was dying
Someone called Maria's
name
I swear it was my father's voice
Saying, "If you stay you'll all be slain
You
must leave now - you have no choice
Take the servants and ride west
Keep the child close
to your chest
When the American troops withdraw
Let Zapata take the rest"
I
heard Woodrow Wilson's guns
I heard Maria calling
Saying, "Veracruz is dying
And
Cuernavaca's falling"
Aquel dia yo jure (On that day I swore
Hacia
el puerto volvere To the port I will return
Aunque el destino cambio mi vida
Even though destiny changed my life
En Veracruz morire In Veracruz I shall
die
Aquel dia yo jure On that day I swore)
I heard Woodrow
Wilson's guns
I heard them in the harbor
Saying, "Veracruz is dying | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
