Mendocino (Doug Sahm)
Recorded by Doc Carroll & The Royal Blues
1969- Pye 7N17732 / Hi Lee Hi Lo

Teeny-bopper, my teenage lover,
I caught your waves last night, it set my mind a-wandering,
You’re such a groove, please don’t move,
Please stay in my love-house by the river.

Fast-talking guys with strange red eyes
Have put things in your mind and set your mind a-wandering,
I love you so, please don’t go,
Please stay here with me in Mendocino.

Mendocino, Mendocino,
Where life’s such a groove you blow your mind in the morning,
We used to walk through the park,
Make love along the way in Mendocino.

Like I told you, can you dig it?
If you wanna groove I’ll be glad to have you;
I love you so, please don’t go,
Please stay here with me in Mendocino.

(Originally recorded by Doug Sahm & The Sir Douglas Quintet)
