D                           D                       A      A 
Down on the border, on some business I'd rather not mention 
Bm                      Bm                  G      G 
Gettin' involved with a woman was not my in-tention  but then 
D                        A 
She came along, just out walking her dog and I 
Bm                        G 
Loved her before I'd even met her, I guess 
A7                       A7                            D     D

Dog didn't like me, I guess he knew where I was headin' 
Bm                      Bm                       G      G 
He bit my hand, when he carried the rings at our weddin'  mari- 
D                   A 
achis played and we sang and we swayed, but they're 
Bm                          G 
Right when they say love is blind, 'cos in a 
A7                         A7                     D   D 
Month she was gone and she only left one thing be-hind 

Chorus 1: 
G           D             A                           D 
Now I got a Mexican dog I can't say his name he don't come when I call 
G                            D 
When he's not bitin' me he's lickin' his balls and I 
Bm                         G 
Hate him right down to his fur but 
Bm                G           A       D  D 
All I got left of her is this Mexican dog  so I

Thought it might help, if I bought him a toy at the store 
Bm                          Bm                    G     G 
He was so grateful, he left somethin' for me on my floor  I kicked him 
D                           A 
Out every night, but by the dawn's early light he was 
Bm                           G 
Back sportin' some brand new smell, I'd take him 
A7                             A7                       D   D 
Back where he came from, but I don't have directions to hell

Top it all off, she said she thought that little bastard was cute  I said hold 
D                         A 
On to his leash, and wait right here for me, and he'll 
Bm                           G 
Show you some tricks that he knows and I 
A7                       A7                       D  D 
Know it was wrong, but I showed her a trick of my own
