I met a lady in my drifting days I quickly fell under the spell of her loving ways A rose in the desert I loved her so In the land of enchantment, New Mexico We watched the sunset by the Rio Grande A mission bell, rang farewell, she took my hand She said, "Come back amigo, no matter where you go To the land of enchantment, New Mexico" From her arms I wandered far across the sea I often heard her gentle words haunting me Come back amigo, I miss you so To the land of enchantment, New Mexico Come back amigo, no matter where you go To the land of enchantment, New Mexico
