Bertie Higgins The Gulf of Mexico song lyrics

The Gulf Of Mexico

(Teddy Gentry, Robert Byrne)

I live to work and I work to live

Oh, but what I wouldn't give

For a ray of sun and a little piece of beach

Where the sand dollar is the only currency

()

Why don't we go, to the Gulf of Mexico

You and me by the sea

Palm trees call me; that's the place I want to be

Down where the southern breezes blow

On the Gulf of Mexico

Right at fi ve o'clock today

I'll pick you up we'll drive away

I can almost feel the sand beneath my toes

I can almost see the sunburn on your nose

(#2)

Why don't we go, to the Gulf of Mexico

You and me by the sea

Palm trees call me; that's the place I want to be

Down where the southern breezes blow

On the Gulf of Mexico

Vamoose; let's go, to the Gulf of Mexico

You and me by the sea

Palm trees call me; that's the place I want to be

Down where the southern breezes blow

On the Gulf of Mexico
