The words and music of "Land of Enchantment - New Mexico", written by Michael Martin Murphy, Chick Raines and Don Cook, are declared to be the official state ballad. The words of the state ballad are as follows:    

 

I met a lady in my drifting days   

I quickly fell under the spell of her loving ways   

A rose in the desert I loved her so   

In the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico  

 

As we watched the sunset by the Rio Grande   

A mission bell rang farewell she took my hand   

She said "come back amigo no matter where you go"   

To the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico  

 

From her arms I wandered, far across the sea   

I often heard her gentle words haunting me   

"Come back amigo, I miss you so"   

To the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico  

 

So come back amigo no matter where you go   

To the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico.
