San Miguel de Allende, State of Guanajuato
Tourista friendly and welcomes gringos
Yo hablo espanol poco, un poco
But I speak English muchas bueno
Yo hablo Ingles, si, muchas bueno

See the novia at la parroquia
Across from the jardin where laurel trees grow
Cross down a dark street to where honky cats meet
There you will find a sign on the door
La Cantina el Gato Negro

Ai yi yi yi
The luckiest man alive
Already died so long ago
Ai yi yi yi
So sad, so sweet, so high
So dry your eyes and cry your grito in la Cantina el Gato Negro

She sits in a corner with an eye on her daughter
Her daughter is making tips dancing on the bar
To a band that shakes like a nervous old snake
Keeping it's venom in a half empty jar
La Cantina el Gato Negro
