I won’t let you go
I won’t let you go
Not to Detroit City
Not to Chicago

Well I won’t let you go
And I won’t let you go
Not to Mississippi
Not to Tupelo

But if you’re gonna leave
I’m asking you to please go
All the way to Mexico

Well I won’t let you leave
I won’t let you leave
Not with all my Django
Emmy Lou and Steve

And I won’t let you leave
I won’t let you leave
Not with my revival
Tucked down in the sleeve

But if you’re gonna go
Take the ones you gave to me
All the way to Mexico

CHORUS:
All the way to the shore
Of California Bay
And I’ll be fine
‘Cause I’ve taken you back
For the last time

And I won’t set you free
I won’t set you free
Not to say “it’s over”
And come right back to me

But if you’re gonna go
I’m giving you the key
But only if you’ll go
to Mexico

CHORUS x 2

So if you’re gonna go
Baby won’t you please
Go all the way to Mexico
All the way to Mexico
