Family Beat

Downtown Tijuana
I was born in a little red shed
My mama cared for me
And my papa. Took me to the great blue sea
With a big white summer hat
When I left my family
I was not very old
Mama can you hear me?

So I take my big white hat
And I'm coming home
So I take my big white hat
And I'm coming home
Sister make ends meet
Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat
Sister make ends meet
Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat.

Downtown Albuquerque
I was living on my own
No mama cared for me
And no papa
Took me to the great blue sea
This is bad
Don't you agree?
When I left my family
I was not very old
Mama can you hear me?

When you're far away from home
There's a promise and a prayer
Oh so far away from home
Just a promise and a prayer.

So I take my big white hat
And I'm coming home
So I take my big white hat
And I'm coming home
Sister make ends meet
Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat
Sister make ends meet
Get me on to my feet
Welcome back to the family beat.
