MEXICALI ROSE
(Stone, Tenney)

Bing recorded Mexicali Rose with the John Scott Trotter Orchestra on July 11, 1938. It charted for 10 weeks, and reached as high as No. 3 on the pop charts.

Mexicali Rose stop crying
I'll come back to you some sunny day.
Every night you'll know that I'll be pining
Every hour a year while I'm away.
Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear
Banish all those tears and please don't sigh.
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose, goodbye.

Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear
Banish all those tears and please don't sigh.
Kiss me once again and hold me
Mexicali Rose, goodbye.
