Verse:
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 ev'ry evening seem so sweet.
In My Adobe Hacienda,
Life and love are more complete.
