Lyrics
(Elizabeth Garrett, 1915, Tango)
Under a sky of azure, where balmy breezes blow;
Kissed by the golden sunshine, is Nuevo Mejico.
Home of the Montezuma, with fiery heart aglow,
State of the deeds historic, is Nuevo Mejico.
Refrain
O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so
Our hearts with pride o’erflow, no matter where we go,
O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so,
The grandest state to know, New Mexico!
Rugged and high sierras, with deep canyons below;
Dotted with fertile valleys, is Neuvo Mejico.
Fields full of sweet alfalfa, richest perfumes bestow.
State of apple blossoms, is Nuevo Mejico. Refrain
