MONTEVIDEO
(Don McCray / Robert Sour / Ernest Gold)

Harry James & His Orch. (vocal: Dick Haymes) - 1941
Bobby Short - 1958


Montevideo, you hold sway over me
For someone I love
Waits by your sunlit sea

Montevideo and her gay open arms
Are calling to me
Calling with strange sweet charms

Though I sail `cross the bay
Far away from your shore
Oh how I yearn to return
To the one I adore

Montevideo say you'll always be true
And let me come back
Back to her arms and you
Montevideo
