The Gardens - Freddie Fender, Texas Tornados

When the sun goes down

And the heat stays on

Young men fight

And they carry on

It’s just the way of life

Down here in the Garden

This side’s mine

That side’s yours

You can’t walk here

And break the rule

The rule that we all know

Down here in the Garden

I guess it’s one more night

That we’ll have to spend

With the window barred

And the kids locked in

One more night

Will make your life slowly harden

I guess it’s one more night

That we’ll have to spend

Where mamas cry

Daddys sin

One more night we’ll spend

Down here in the Garden

When the boys drive through

And them bullets fly

Mi hija plays

She waits to die

Papa breaks and cries

Down here in the Garden

He can’t have her back

He knows that way

'Cause he’s just died

And he’s gone to Heaven

In the little quiet town

Called the Garden

I guess it’s one more night

That we’ll have to spend

With the window barred

And the kids locked in

One more night

Will make your life slowly harden

I guess it’s one more night

That we’ll have to spend

Where mamas cry

And daddys sin

One more night we’ll spend

Down here in the Garden

One more night we’ll spend

Down here in the Garden

One more night we’ll spend

Down here in the Garden

One more night we’ll spend

Down here in the Garden
