Letra de What of Alicia

[Verse 1]
Well he just turned 17
When he left old Abilene
With his bag
And permission from the kin
Yeah but things just weren't the same
After his Momma signed her name
And let the navy…take him in
[Chorus]
Ahhh
What of Alicia
Española
13 years old
Child of Mexico
[Verse 2]
An he just turned 19 years
When he learned to face his fears
Of growing up
And acting like a man
He just cocked his sailor cap
Stuck his hands down in his lap
Leaned back and stroked them girls in Japan
[Chorus]
Ahhh
What of Alicia
Española
15 years old
Girl of Mexico
[Verse 3]
An he just turned 23
When he finally took his final leave
Anchored in the port of San Diego
Yeah he met this border girl
An he fancied her body's curl
So he married her
Then carried her to Colorado
[Chorus]
Ahhh
What of Alicia
Española
19 years old
An old woman
But out of Mexico
