              A                                 D                      C       A 
If you're down in Acuna and you ain't up to being alone 
            D                                                   C                  A 
don’t spend all your money on just any honey that's grown. 
                     E                                 D                     C                  A 
Go find the Mexican blackbird and send all your troubles back home. 

Walk – E   G   G#  A 
          A                                           D                     C              A 
They all call her her "puta" 'cause no one really knows her name. 
           D                                              C                 A 
She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade. 
          E                                            D                    C        A        E 
Her mama was Mez'can and her daddy was the ace of spades. 

Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boys. 

Walk – E  G   G#  D 

Solo –  
      

D                                          G/D   D 
Said, keep your hands on the wheel there. 
                                A   G   D 
Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it? 

Now, ya got it! Hand me another one of them brews from back there. 
                             G/D  A  E   G   A 
Oh, this is gonna be so good. 

Walk – E   G   G#  A 
                                                    D                  C           A 
Mm, she's hot as a pepper but smooth as a Mexican brew. 
         E                                  D             C          A 
So head for the border and put in an order or two. 
          E                                        D                     C          A      E 
The wings of the blackbird will spread like an eagle for you. 

Walk – E  G  G#  D 
Oh, one more time, 

Ending – Adlib lyrics –  D    
                                                G/D    D    A 
can you roll me another Bull Durham, please? 
                                  E  G  A  G  E  G  G#  A 
Can't you do it with one hand, boy?
