In my wanderin' 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 hurting 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, don't go away Don't go away, Senor, don't go away Don't go away, don't go away
