C G7
My outfit was stationed near a small border town
I met her one day in a small cabaret
C
I discovered just off the camp ground
F
Her name was Juanita and I loved her so
C G7
And I took from my hand that gold wedding band
C
That I wore back home
F C
Each weekend I'd buy Juanita some flowers
G7 C
And wrap them up in lies
F C
I'd buy Juanita some flowers
G7 C
So she couldn't see the shame in my eyes
G7
I just couldn't tell her that our love couldn't be
So I lied to amuse her cause I knew I'd lose her
C
If she learned the truth about me
F
For the sake of this woman I've forsaken my soul
C G7
But her kiss was to blame it set off a flame
C
I couldn't control
Repeat #2
G7
And then someone told her that I had a wife
I tried to explain but her gun spit a flame
C
And as I fell she took her own life
F
And now it's all over I won't last I know
C G7
Do one thing for me in her memory
C
Before I go
F C
Won't someone please buy Juanita some flowers
G7 C
For all the trust she gave
F C
Please buy Juanita some flowers
G7 C
And place them for me upon her grave
