Poinciana (Song of the Tree)

When the blue Texas moonlight shines on the Alamo

It brings back memories to me of love I used to know

Her eyes were like the starlight, her voice soft and low

My lovely senorita from down in Mexico

I left her in the moonlight, she said, "I'll miss you so"

She gave her promise to me before I had to go

And though the years be many, she'll be there I know

When the blue Texas moonlight shines on the Alamo

I left her in the moonlight, she said, "I'll miss you so"

She gave her promise to me before I had to go

And though the years be many, she'll be there I know

When the blue Texas moonlight shines on the Alamo
