My horse and me, we were parched and hungry,
In the high Sierra Madre…
I ate a cactus button,
And then all of a sudden…
A choir of angels stood before me…
With the mountains round me ringin’,
I joined in the singin’:

‘Cause I…love…high Sierra,
Me… encanta la Sierra…
When I die just lay my bones in blessed dirt forever,
Lay me down…
In high Sierra…

Peyote sharpens senses like a razor,
And thawin’ out my heart
Is no small favor…
No more needin’ to pretend,
Nothin’ left here to defend…
The world is one and harmony’s my savior…
There’s no more fear in me,
Just a new reality:

I…love…high Sierra…
Me…encanta la Sierra…
When I die just lay my bones in blessed dirt forever,
Lay me here…

The high Sierra’s
Where this pilgrim’s stayin’
Where Mescalito’s truth
Is well worth worth savin’…

And I…love…high Sierra,
Me…encanta la Sierra…
When I die just lay my bones in blessed dirt forever,
Lay me down…
In high Sierra…
Lay me down in high Sierra…
There’s truth out here that lasts forever,
Lay me down…in high…
Sierra….
