I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for a lost and gone
An unknown for a long long time
Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains
Once at night Catillion squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dudeÂll do in a town full of heroes and villains
In the cantina
Margarita's keep the spirit high
There I watched her
She spun around and
Round in the warmth of her body
Fanned the flame of the dance
Dance Margarita don't you know that IÂm in love with you
Dance
Dance
You're under arrest!
My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy weathy and often wise
At three score and five
I'm very much alive
I still got the jive to survive with the heroes and villains
