In old Mexico there's a small village high on a mountain
Few people know they can go there and drink from love's fountain
And old Spanish legend says this was the home of two lovers
And he built the fountain in honor of love that he lost to another
It was long years ago a young boy and a girl loved each other
They stood in the moonlight one night and pledged their love forever
But her father had promised her hand to a young Stas Yarrow
And she had to marry to honor the
promise her father had made long ago
While still a young man he brought stone from the top of the mountain
He worked hard each day and one day he finished the fountain
They said he's a fool there's no water what's he thinking of
But the day that he died water flowed
from the spring in his fountain of love
In old Mexico there's a small village high on a mountain
Few people know they can go there and drink from love's fountain
The old Spanish legend says sometimes at night you can see them
On a clear moonlight night they meet
and embrace by the fountain of love
