She comes from guatamala

She helps me get around

She helps when Im in trouble

The federales they were acoming

To let me take her back to texas

In the white pickup truck

Where she had done a dozen favors

To get me out of dutch

Now we never spank the children

And the house is pretty small

And I never learned the language

Of old guatamal

But there are frijoles when Im hungry

And I drink tequila when Im dry

And the coffee is oh so good

And maria hands it out
