A Border A fair
But one time I had to fly
For a foolish gamblin' fight,
And we said a swift good-bye
On that black, unlucky night.
When I'd loosed her arms from clingin',
With her words the hoofs kept ringin',
As I galloped north alone —
"Adios, mi corazon"
Never seen her since that night;
I kaint cross the Line, you know.
She was Mex. and I was white;
Like as not it's better so.
Yet I've always sort of missed her
Since that last, wild night I kissed her,
Left her heart and lost my own —
" Adios, mi corazon/'
