Down On the Rio Grande

I remember the palm trees swaying Cross the river the sweet music playing Down on the Rio Grande Out on the levee with the full moon above me A Mexican lady, Lord how she loved me Down on the Rio Grande Laugh and singing in the warm night air Loving that woman with the raven hair We were down on the Rio Grande Strolling with my lover hand and hand Lord I'd give anything to be Down on the Rio Grande Endless highways and wide-open spaces Children smile with their sun burned faces Down on the Rio Grande All the love that my lady was giving Was the sweetest part of living Down on the Rio Grande And if these memories could take me there I'd be loving my woman with the raven hair I'd be down on the Rio Grande Strolling with my lover hand and hand Lord I'd give anything to be Down on the Rio Grande Down on the Rio Grande Strolling with my lover hand and hand Lord I'd give anything to be Down on the Rio Grande Down on the Rio Grande Down on the Rio Grande
