based on a true story. the tune is quite a bit like holly and the ivy or Susie little Susie.


MAMACITA

Mamacita, Mamacita, the rocks cut my feet
Mamacita, Mamacita, I have nothing to eat
They stole my one blanket they stole all my food
I tell you dearest mama they were up to no good

Mamacita, Mamacita, it took all that you owned
To send me with coyotes who left me alone
They left me in the desert for walking too slow
I don’t know where I am I don’t know where to go

Mamacita, Mamacita, when I am a man
I promise to get you and do what I can
I will get you a room in a fancy hotel
And anything you wish for you can ring a little bell

Mamacita, Mamacita, there’s a rose in each thorn
Mamacita, Mamacita, I am glad I was born
Life can be trouble and life can be hard
I will gather my strongness and walk up to the guard
