ADIOS AMIGO
(Ralph Freed and Jerry Livingston, © Milene Music/Hallmark Music)

Adios, amigo. Adios, my friend.
The road we have traveled has come to an end.
When two love the same love, one love has to lose,
And it's you who she longs for. It's you she will choose.

Adios, compadre. What must be must be.
Remember to name one muchacho for me.
I ride to the Rio where my life I must spend.
Adios, amigo. Adios, my friend.

Adios, compadre. Let us shed no tears.
May all your mañanas bring joy through the years.
Away from these mem'ries my life I must spend.
Adios, amigo. Adios, my friend.

[As recorded by Jim Reeves November 21, 1961.]
