My take on the traditional Mexican Reel...
The Magdalena Reel
I came to stay the weekend
No I came to stay the day
I was so lost when you found me
But you helped me find my way
You gave me bread and peanut butter
We drank a pot of herbal tea
We made love right on the table
I don't know what got into me
I had never made love
But all it takes is time
You showed me something girl
You've always been so kind
Together we have seen the seasons
Change and go back again
And it just keeps getting better
My pretty Magdalena
If I had know where I was going
Our stars might have never crossed
My advice to all you people
Sometimes it just pays to get lost
Magdalena is the name of the girl for me
Breakfast time, supper time, sugar time for me
Tea time, pudding time, Siesta time for we
Magdalena is the name of the girl for me
Make something with your hands
Make something with your mind
Make something with your heart
And the pieces that you find
Put your fingers in the desert
Put your fingers in the sea
My fingers in the pudding
Where it shouldn't be
We've come so far together
We have weathered every storm
It's such a cold world outside there
But I have you to keep me warm
Some people fear the living
Some people only fear the dead
Me I only fear Tequila
And an empty bed
Make something with your hands
Make something with your mind
Make something with your heart
And the pieces that you find
Put your fingers in the desert
Put your fingers in the sea
My fingers in the pudding
Where it shouldn't be
I came to stay the weekend
No I came to stay the day
I was so lost when you found me
You helped me find my way
Magdalena and me
Magdalena and me
I love you and you love me
Magdalena and me
The way things are, the way things be
I love you and you love me
If A is A and B is B
Magdalena and me
Magdalena
Magdalena
