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
