Words by Endrick Tremblay
Music by The Great Novel

lyrics

He left his home
He took the time to say goodbye to twelve children of his own
He won’t tell it but he did cry
She kept cool like hielo
The brown of her eyes and the white of her eyes
It’s dry in Arizona,
You better keep your tears before you get dry
And with that red skin Lisa
Her understandin’ is bright as a fire
Her understandin’ is bright as a fire

Señorita, Mexican-American made of seda
Lisa, Lisa

She’s hard on him, he never did try to turn it into a lie
And the children are thin.
And they’ll have to work under that dry sky…

Señorita, Mexican-American made of seda
Lisa, Lisa
