Just below San Diego Tijuana, land of broken dreams Senoritas dancing in the moonlight Flashing Spanish dark eyes to everyone, it seems They say "Hey, gringo Can you take us across the border Just tell them I'm your daughter un poco loco Down the backstreets, through the alleys All the young men stand with pride They guard the palace to the kingdom Called Tijuana, their heritage they decide They say "Hey, gringo Can you take us across the border We'll work for just a quarter On the other side"
From Cale's intro he sounds like he'd by then moved from his and Christine's ranch in Escondido. I didn't know he had moved, wonder if back to Tulsa if he knew his time was near? Christine Lakeland used the Escondido ranch for her Productions by the C and that seems pretty geographically close by SoCal standards to TiaJuana... Curiously yours, Tio Mitchito
Great song by Cale! My favorite interpretation of this song however is the version done by David Lindley and Hani Nasar, lap steel and hand drums only and mind blowing, like most of Lindley's playing!
What a superb bluesman and storyteller… Great as much as humble.
I was between life and death...the first song i could grasp when gettin'back to life.. forever a master,deeply in my heart and soul
My god, this is amazing
Listening to this is just like watching a story from a western movie.
Masterpiece
excellent as always
Just below San Diego
Tijuana, land of broken dreams
Senoritas dancing in the moonlight
Flashing Spanish dark eyes
to everyone, it seems
They say "Hey, gringo
Can you take us across the border
Just tell them I'm your daughter
un poco loco
Down the backstreets, through the alleys
All the young men stand with pride
They guard the palace to the kingdom
Called Tijuana, their heritage they decide
They say "Hey, gringo
Can you take us across the border
We'll work for just a quarter
On the other side"
Where did you get this recording at? Appreciate any info on where to get these recordings.
