In the valley of the Rio Grande |
|
Is a brown eyed Mexican maiden I want to see |
|
In the valley of the Rio Grande |
|
In a garden of roses, she said she'd wait for me |
|
To the valley of the Rio Grande |
|
I know I must go 'cause my heart tells me go again |
|
If I stay any longer she may find another to love her |
|
So tonight I must ride |
|
For the valley of the Rio Grande |
|
I can see the candle in her window every night |
|
She said would brightly burn |
|
I've been travelin' anywhere |
|
The wind blows but my heart tells me I must return |
|
To the valley of the Rio Grande |
|
As I ride, I will pray that she waits there each day for me |
|
Have I been gone too long? |
|
Will she still be there where I left her? |
|
In the garden that lies in the valley of the Rio Grande |
