By Warren Zevon and Jorge Calderon c. 1978 Zevon Music/BMI and Polite Music/ASCAP I heard Woodrow Wilson`s guns I heard Maria crying Late last night I heard the news That Veracruz was dying Veracruz was dying
Someone called Maria`s name I swear it was my father`s voice Saying, "If you stay you`ll all be slain You must leave now - you have no choice Take the servants and ride west Keep the child close to your chest When the American troops withdraw Let Zapata take the rest"
I heard Woodrow Wilson`s guns I heard Maria calling Saying, "Veracruz is dying And Cuernavaca`s falling"
Aquel dia yo jure (On that day I swore) Hacia el puerto volvere (To the port I will return) Aunque el destino cambio mi vida (Even though destiny changed my life) En Veracruz morire (In Veracruz I shall die) Aquel dia yo jure (On that day I swore)
I heard Woodrow Wilson`s guns I heard them in the harbor Saying, "Veracruz is dying"
