"Adios Maria" lyrics - THE CACTUS BLOSSOMS

THE CACTUS BLOSSOMS
"Adios Maria"
(Jack Torrey)

Beautiful flowers are all that I dreamed of
You don't know what you got so you want what you can't have
I love laugh at all of the hours
All the jokes that I know
Someway make you sour

[Chorus:]
Adios Maria
I'll meet you in paradise
Run my hands through your hair
At the break of sun rise
Adios Maria
I'll meet you in paradise
If the good Lord is willing and the creed don't ride

New Orelans town
On my way up to Austin
Dominoes was my game
Till the day that I lost em
It's a short road here
That goes a lot longer
North to south it's the same
High water will drown ya

[Chorus:]
Adios Maria
I'll meet you in paradise
Run my hands through your hair
At the break of sun rise
Adios Maria
I'll meet you in paradise
If the good Lord is willing and the creed don't ride

[Bridge:]
There's a man that I know, Hill Country from Texas
His name is Ulysses
And he's grown to respect us
He loves his life so all man who can see it
It's a troubled heart and a worried mind
That bring you to fear it

[Chorus:]
Adios Maria
I'll meet you in paradise
Run my hands through your hair
At the break of sun rise
Adios Maria
I'll meet you in paradise
If the good Lord is willing and the creed don't ride
