A BLUE PIG FROM MEXICO

I bought a wooden pig from a market place in Mexico
I bought a wooden pig and he’s painted sky and blue
I carry him on my shoulder though his weight is heavy
I carry him though he’s heavy back home to you

I carry on my shoulder a sky of Mexico
I carry on my lips a song of blue
But my heart, ah love, my heart I leave in Mexico
I bring only the sky of Mexico to you

I bought a wooden pig and his face is fat and happy
He’s strong in his heart and his love is fierce and true
His belly is fat and round like the bright sun of Mexico
I carry him though he‘s heavy back home to you

I carry on my shoulder a sky of Mexico
I carry on my lips a song of blue
But my heart, ah love, my heart I leave in Mexico
I bring only the sky of Mexico to you

I bring only the sky of Mexico to you
