puertecitos

Verse 1
Linda a Mexican lady, lived down by the sea
Linda and her cabellero came from the U.S. of A.
Speedy loved Linda his lady, and built her a home with his hands
Where Linda could look out her window, and watch the waves crash onto the sand

Chorus
I yi yi Puertecitos, there by the sea
I hate you for taking my love from me
I yi yi Puertecitoes, so quite and free
I love you for giving me this home by the sea

Verse 2
People would stop as they traveled, south to the tropical sun
Linda would serve them cervasa, while speedy was off in San Juan
Speedy told Linda he'd bring her, a prize from the places he'd go
Linda would wait for his sailboat, hoping he'd bring her some gold

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
One day while Speedy was fishing, Linda was sleeping alone
Speedy had found her a gold ring, and hurried to bring it on home
But Linda would not wake that morning, Speedy he knelt by her side
Slowly he reached in his pocket, he threw that ring into the tide
