The Rosarita Beach Cafe
With Tennessee sour mash whiskey on my breath
Rosalie, Suzy and Lucy on my mind
I drove my old car down
The dusty streets of this old border town
But I never thought I'd get stuck here such a long long time
I've got a million dollar bill
And they can't change it
They won't let me leave until my tab is paid
So I might as well settle down here
And buy the house another round
Send my mail to to Rosarita Beach Cafe
It was one of those hot dry dime-a-dozen Mexicana days
When I fell through the door of the Rosarita Beach Cafe
And I got myself a table with a view of the breakers and the bay
And another cold Dos Equis on the way
I've got a million dollar bill
And they can't change it
They won't let me leave until my tab is paid
So I might as well settle down yes
And buy the house another round
Send my mail to to Rosarita Beach Cafe
Well, I soon fell in with thugs and thieves
And gamblers from the beach
And the devil himself suggested an all-night game
But the night winds came along
Like some dark-eyed senorita's song
And blew my straight flush out across the waves
I've got a million dollar bill
And they can't change it
They won't let me leave until my tab is paid
So I might as well settle down yes
And buy the house another round
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe, ah

They won't let me leave until my tab is paid
So I might as well settle down here

And buy the house another round
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe, ah
