Lyrics

I got the Latina Marguerita Blues – Carleen Roth 2025

Verse 1:
I Went on down
To Puerta Vallarta
To see for myself
If I could take a part of

The sunshine
The water
Gotta Get out of the cold
And get a little hotter

I was in for a lesson
On life and expression
And upping my game
On how to leave an impression

Verse 2:

That’s when I got
My eyes opened wide
Striding on the sidewalk
Her smile big and bright

Swinging skirt
Cropped top
Flowers in her hair
Made the colours pop

I see my reflection
in the window pane
From my sunhat to my flip flops
I’m looking kinda plain

Chorus:
I want her long black hair and big brown eyes
Cause every time she walks by
the guys all sigh
She’s got that I don’t know what
You don’t say
A swing to her hips
All the heads turn her way
Got the Latina Marguerita Blues

Verse 3
I ducked into
A local cantina
Got me a drink
of lime and tequila

Sweet salty
Shaved ice
Felt a bit better
In fact pretty nice

Then in the mirror
She swung through the door
The bartenders jaw
Just hit the floor

Chorus:
I want her long black hair and big brown eyes
Cause every time she walks by
the guys all sigh
She’s got that I don’t know what
You don’t say

A swing to her hips
All the heads turn her way
Got the Latina Marguerita Blues

Bridge:
Makeover time
Salon’s booked
Time to fix my
plain ole look

Got a new outfit
Brand new shoes
I’m gonna walk away those
Latina blues


Chorus
Now She wants my long red hair
and my big blue eyes
Cause every time I walk by
I can hear guys sigh
I’ve got that I don’t know what
You don’t say
I’m swinging my hips
And the heads turn my way
Love those Latina Marguerita Blues
Gotta love those Latina Marguerita Blues
Those Latina Marguerita Blues
