In my wandering days I wandered south of the border   I ended up in a little Mexican town   Was there I met a lovely senorita   There she offered her heart if I promised I'd settle down   Love beyond compare eternally happy   This could have been but I just had to wander instead   As I rode away with tears in her eyes she was pleading   I can still see her tears I can still hear the words she said   Don't go away senor don't go away   Don't go away senor don't go away don't go away don't go away      Guess my wanderin' is through I just can't forget her   My love for her keeps pulling deep down within   There's nothin' to do but ride back south of the border   And beg her forgiveness and never wander again   Don't go away senor...
