NEW MEXICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

My Country vast and grand, Sweet Montezuma Land, My Stingareé. Land of the Knife and Gun, Villa and Scorpion; Land of the Evil One I weep for thee! Smallpox and Rattlesnakes Lurk in thy Cactus brakes, And Yellow Jack. Spiders and Centipedes Gloat o'er thy murd'rous deeds: To cure thy crying needs, Call Diaz back. Tarantula and Flies Poison your lands and skies: Behold your graves! Carranza's waving beard By Pancho's Band is feared, And will be till he's sheared Or dyes or shaves. Horned Toads and Vampire Bats, Gilas and Mountain Cats, Where'er you go! Buzzards and Vultures reign Over a million slain; And Mescal is the bane Of Mexico. O, Land of Chili con Carne and Obregon, Let murders cease! Keep Freedom's fires aglow Where La Frijólés grow; Throw up your Sombrero And Keep the Peace!
