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

As 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

So come back amigo no matter where you go

To the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico.
