Mexicali Rose” is a popular song with music by Jack Tenney and lyrics by Helen Stone, published in 1923. The song is a love story of a man who must leave his love for a while. The chorus:

Mexicali Rose, stop crying;I’ll come back to you some sunny day.Ev’ry night you’ll know that I’ll be pining,Ev’ry 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.Rosa de Mexicali no llores;Piensa que muy pronto volveré,Y que siempre triste sin consuelo,Cada noche y dia yo pasaré,Seca tus hermosos ojos,Deja de llorar y suspirar.Bésame otra vez y estréchame;Rosa de Mexicali, adios.
Helen StoneManuel Sanchs De Lara (trans.)

The song has become a pop standard, performed by many artists, including The Lennon Sisters 1960 (Sing Twelve Great Hits, Dot Records DLP 3292)
