I spend my nights down on the wharf 00:20
In unlit alleyways 00:25
By the church downtown 00:30
Where Sally prays 00:36
Come down sometime 00:40
We'll share a rusty can of corn, yeah 00:43
And listen to the radio 00:50
I love you, I love you, it says 00:54
Where did your heart go? 00:59
Did you put it on a train? 01:04
Did you leave it in the rain 01:09
Or down in Mexico? 01:14
Where did your heart go? 01:19
Did you put it on a train? 01:25
Did you leave it in the rain 01:30
Or down in Mexico? 01:34
01:40
You cried but I don't know how 02:02
I've heard it all before 02:07
There it goes it again, the slamming of the door 02:12
Sometimes the river calls me 02:22
And at night it calls my name 02:27
Says "Put your troubles down beside me" 02:32
Things have always been the same 02:36
02:42
And rock 'n' roll won't teach me 03:44
What the river said that night 03:49
I jumped into this beauty 03:54
And drifted out of sight 03:59
Where did your heart go? 04:03
Did you put it on a train? 04:09
Did you leave it in the rain 04:14
Or down in Mexico? 04:18
Where did your heart go? 04:23

[English]
I spend my nights down on the wharf
In unlit alleyways
By the church downtown
Where Sally prays
Come down sometime
We'll share a rusty can of corn, yeah
And listen to the radio
I love you, I love you, it says
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?
...
You cried but I don't know how
I've heard it all before
There it goes it again, the slamming of the door
Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says "Put your troubles down beside me"
Things have always been the same
...
And rock 'n' roll won't teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into this beauty
And drifted out of sight
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?
...
