Lyrics
Where is a home to compare with mine
When the evening shadows fall
Where does the moon never fail to shine
On the garden wall?
Chorus
In my adobe hacienda
There’s a touch of Mexico
Cactus lovelier than orchids
Blooming in the patio
Soft desert stars and the strum of guitars
Make every evening seem so sweet
In my adobe hacienda
Life and love are more complete
Chorus
In my adobe hacienda
Nested in the western hills
Evening breezes softly murmur
Harmony with whippoorwills
When setting sun says the long day is done
Sweet music starts to fill the air
In my adobe hacienda
Harmony is ev’rywhere
Sung here by Fred Feild:
