What's A Simple Man To Do

Dear Graciela, I'm writin' this letter
Deep in the night and I'm all alone
It's nearly breakin' my heart to tell you
I'm so far away from home
I know I said I'd never cross the border
I know I promised to return to you
But I lost my job in the maquiladora
What's a simple man to do?

I met a man in Tijuana
Said he had a job for me to do
Standin' on a corner in San Diego
With a pocketful of red balloons
All I wanted was a little money
All I needed was a week or two
I never even saw the police comin'
What's a simple man to do?

Tell my mamma that I said I'm sorry
I know she didn't bring me up this way
Ask if she could light a candle for me
Pray that I'll come home someday
Oh Graciela, won't you please forgive me
I never meant to bring this shame to you
But I lost my job in the maquiladora
What's a simple man to do?

But I lost my job in the maquiladora
I never meant to bring this shame to you
Oh Graciela, won't you please forgive me
Pray that I'll come home someday
Ask if she could light a candle for me
I know she didn't bring me up this way
Tell my mamma that I said I'm sorry

What's a simple man to do?
I never even saw the police comin'
All I needed was a week or two
All I wanted was a little money
With a pocketful of red balloons
Standin' on a corner in San Diego
Said he had a job for me to do

What's a simple man to do?
But I lost my job in the maquiladora
I know I promised to return to you
I know I said I'd never cross the border
I'm so far away from home
It's nearly breakin' my heart to tell you
Deep in the night and I'm all alone
Dear Graciela, I'm writin' this letter
