Is this it? Click! If not, give us a few lyrics so we know what we're looking for, OK?

I saw that one Sorcha, bur it's not it. More like: "Oh, it's Old Arizona again (2x) It's a place where we all have been..."

No real luck with Google or Levy. Could it be from the movie "In Old Arizona"? That was all I found with Google, and the most popular song in it was something called "Tona". Hmm. Need help, here.

This page advertises an album of military music called "The Army in the West, 1870-1890." It includes OLD ARIZONA AGAIN.

Oh, it's old Arizona again,
It's old Arizona again;
It's a place where we all have been.
We have all been there before,
And we're going back once more,
Back to old Arizona again.

Oh, it's old Arizona again,
It's old Arizona again;
With its greasers and bad, bad men.
They dom't know the Boston dip
But they shoot you from the hip
Down in old Arizona again.

Oh, it's old Arizona again,
It's old Arizona again;
It's a place where we all have been.
With its scenery and fresh air,
They will be your bill of fare,
Down in old Arizona again.

Oh, it's old Arizona again,
It's old Arizona again;
It's a place where we all have been.
With the bears and rocky ground,
And the rattlers running round,
Round in old Arizona again.

Oh, it's old Arizona again,
It's old Arizona again;
It's a place where we all have been.
And if you get away,
They will bring you back to stay,
Down in old Arizona again.
