TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE, THE
(Dick Manning / Buddy Kaye)

as recorded by Dick Haymes
with Gordon Jenkins & his Orchestra
1948


I looked for the treasure
Of Sierra Madre;
From the tales that were told,
There were mountains of gold 
Buried there.

I looked for the treasure
Of Sierra Madre,
When a soft echo came,
And it carried your name
Through the air.

I didn't find the fortune
I was looking for,
I didn't find the fortune,
I found much more!

For you are the treasure
Of Sierra Madre,
And your love is the gold
That I tenderly hold
In my arms!

For you are the treasure
Of Sierra Madre,
And your love is the gold
That I tenderly hold
In my arms!
