New Mexico State Song Lyrics

Under a sky of azure, where balmy breezes blow,
Kissed by the golden sunshine, is Nuevo Mejico.
Home of the Montezuma, with firey hearts aglow,
State of the deeds historic, is Nuevo Mejico.

[Chorus]
Oh! Fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so,
Our hearts with pride o'erflow,
No matter where we go.
Oh! Fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so,
The grandest state we know - New Mexico!

Rugged and high sierras, with deep canyons below,
Dotted with fertile valleys, is Nuevo Mejico.
Fields full of sweet alfalfa, richest perfumes bestow,
State of apple blossoms, is Nuevo Mejico.

[Chorus]

Days that are full of heart-dreams, nights when the moon hangs low;
Beaming its benedictions, o'er Nuevo Mejico.
Land with its bright mañana, coming through weal and woe;
State of esperanza, is Nuevo Mejico.

[Chorus]
