Dear GEraciela, I'm writin' this letter
EDeep in the night and I'm Ball alone
BIt's nearly breakin' my heart to tell you
BI'm so far away from Ehome
EI know I said I'd never cross the border
EI know I promised to reBturn to you
BBut I lost my job in the maquiladora
BWhat's a simple Eman 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
I lost my job in the maquiladora
What's a simple man to do?
