The Land of Enchantment

Michael Martin Murphey
Don Cook (ASCAP)
Chick Rains (ASCAP)

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-oo,
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, I love you so-oo,
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-oo,
To the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico.

Come back amigo, no matter where you go,
To the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico.
