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 ring farewell she took my hand She said come back amigo no matter where you go To the land of enchantment New Mexico [ guitar ] 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
