New Silver Bells

I'll linger down in Mexico

And met a señorita

Who wore new silver bells

Bright shining silver bells

That chimed as we danced

That seemed to say I love you so

As we danced to and fro

Neath the candle glow

That starlight night

When we found romance

Now the limelight was shining

In her Spanish eyes

Spelling paradise

I spot it all but alas

Next fiesta I swore

That we would meet again

Knowing then and there

I'll never return

And now I live in memory

Though it's much too late

To change the foolish past

I played

To leave my brown eyed babe

With the silver bells
