Well, her name was Maria

She came from [unverified]

She had a passion for diamonds and gold

She done broke every heart

In Flueto bi Arta

By the time she was eighteen years old



Then she left for Las Vegas

With Senor Rodreguez

She didn't care what anybody would think

And when she came back

She had two Cadillacs and a mink



Well, he came from Kentucky

All the boys called him 'Lucky'

He loved to ramble around and have fun

A wild-eyed joker with a talent for poker

And a good lookin' son of a gun



Strong as a bear

Kinda devil may care

But he had a weakness, alright

For good lookin' ladies

And falling in love for the night



He met Maria in a small bar in Mexico City

Where him and his buddies had gone

Down to see the bullfight



He took on look in those flashy brown eyes

And said, "Here we go again"



When these high powered lovers

Got a look at each other

They thought it was love at first sight

They danced and got high

And then by and by



She came up to his room for the night

Then that high-totin' mama

Left for Yokohana

With a millionaire from San Antone

And when Lucky woke up

His loot and his lady were gone



Now he sits in Louisville drownin'

In sour mash whiskey

While she rides through the streets

Of Juarez in a long limousine



She took his pride

And a whole lot besides

And she just don't give a damn



I guess that's what you get

For fallin' in love for the night

I guess that's what you get

For fallin' in love for the night
