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