| | From “New Mexico Folk-songs”
PRETTY is the morning, | |
| Pretty is the day. | |
| When the moon comes up | |
| It is light as day. | |
| |
| Fortune’s wheel keeps turning! | 5 |
| |
| Yes, Fortune has its ups and downs, | |
| Fortune is a bubble. | |
| It was all for a married woman | |
| I had my trouble. | |
| |
| Fortune’s wheel keeps turning! | 10 |
| |
| It was eight o’clock at the bridge, | |
| And nine at Jésus María, | |
| But before I could reach her door, | |
| I was caught by her fat old tía! | |
| |
| Fortune’s wheel keeps turning! | 15 | | | |
