There is a land of dusty roads;
Rattle snakes and horny toads.
It never rains; it hardly snows,
All it does is blow and blow.
New Mexico, New Mexico – I love New Mexico
… and I’m ready to go home to Ken.

“And the lady beside me
is the one I have chosen.
To walk through my life,
Like a coat from the cold.”
my family’s version; “There is a land, where nothing grows, but rattlesnakes & horney-toads. It never rains, it never snows, & the wind it always blows. And how they live God only knows, NM, NM. NM, so fertile & rich, we think you are a honey.”
I’m thinking the original song might have ended after the 2 New Mexico’s….my family (some jokester) could have aded the last line. Barb Caton
