Memories of Old Santa Fe

As blue shadows fall

Across the canyon wall

The cattle are quiet and still

Dusty, sore and tired

I build myself a fire

As a full moon

Peaks over the hills.

A blanket for my bed

A saddle for my head

I'll sleep

But in my dreams I'll stray

Back across the miles

To where my darlin' smiles

In memories of old Santa Fe.

Adios mi corinyo

She told me that day

As I kissed her softly

And then rode away.

Now I lie beneath the stars

Without her in my arms

So lonesome

And so far away

But each night

I go back there

In my dreams

And in my prayers

And in memories of old Santa Fe.

Adios mi corinyo

She told me that day

As I kissed her softly

And then rode away.

She's waitin'

There I know

But for now

All I can hold

Are my memories

Of old Sata Fe
