Well, he just turned 17 when he left old Abilene With his bags and permission from the kin Yeah but things just weren't the same after his momma Signed her name and let the navy take him in Ah but what of Alicia Espanola? 13 years old, child of Mexico And he just turned 19 years when he learned to Face his fears of growing up and acting like a man He just cocked his sailor cap, stuck his hands down in his lap Leaned back and stroked them girls in Japan Ah but what of Alicia Espanola? 15 years old, girl of Mexico And he just turned 23 when he finally took his final leave Anchored in the port of San Diego Yeah, he met this border girl and he fancied her body's curl So he married her, then carried her to Colorado Ah but what of Alicia Espanola 19 years old, an old woman but out of Mexico |
