In the desert with you
Away from your parents and casa so grande
Under the care of el espectro
Is the safest place we have to go

Rumors of blanco muerte
A lurking desert menace
Gnawing on gringo bones

My love for you steals my fear
Damned for our father's sins
We might die in this chaparral
By the boney hand, the boney hand of el espectro

Rumors of blanco muerte
A lurking desert menace
Gnawing on gringo bones

El espectro please don't show yourself
The still night air's heavy on my skin
Oh lovely aztec temptress
No sacrifice again,
No, no sacrifice again!

Rumors of blanco muerte
A lurking desert menace
Gnawing on gringo bones
