I was riding and drifting like the desert sand shifting Just an outlaw with no place to go When hungry and saddle sore I rode up to the door Of a rancho in old Mexico The elderly Patron he bid me good day When he saw I was weary I heard him say Mi casa tu casa my house is yours Come in and sit down por favor There's wine and there's bread here There's rest for your head here Mi casa tu casa Senor To his table he lead me he wined me and fed me I was served by his wife and I saw She was so young and lovely and her black eyes said love me That night came a knock at my door And I knew a love like I'd never known But each time she kissed me my conscience would moan Mi casa tu casa my house is yours... [ guitar ] The whole house is sleeping as I'm quietly creeping Out the back door to the stables and then I'll saddle my horse and ride but something in me will die For I never will see her again I've robbed and I've stolen this may be true But how can you steal from the one who tells you Mi casa tu casa my house is yours... Mi casa tu casa Senor
