Sombrero Land 1911

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 Aug 2005

Starlight a twinkling,
mandolin tinkling sweet serenade,
'mid convent bells,
of love sweetly tells a Mexican Maid;
Longing to go to,
longing to know true love's paradise,
as he sings to eyes
that dim fairest golden skies.

Sombrero Land,
fair tropic strand,
beside the Rio Grande,
with love my heart command,
eyes understand what heart's demand,
Come, we'll delight some,
quite some, bright Sombrero Land.

Sombrero Land,
fair tropic strand,
beside the Rio Grande,
with love my heart command,
eyes understand what heart's demand,
Come, we'll delight some,
quite some, bright Sombrero Land.

Silently hiding, silently sliding
down to his arms,
two lips caress, with kisses impress
her heart in their charms;
thro' gardens groping,
they go eloping,
silently flee,
as once more to her,
he tenderly hums his plea.

Sombrero Land,
fair tropic strand,
beside the Rio Grande,
with love my heart command,
eyes understand what heart's demand,
Come, we'll delight some,
quite some, bright Sombrero Land.

Sombrero Land,
fair tropic strand,
beside the Rio Grande,
with love my heart command,
eyes understand what heart's demand,
Come, we'll delight some,
quite some, bright Sombrero Land.
