DI remember the palm trees swaying
Across the river the sweet music playing
ADown on the Rio Grande
DOut on the levee with the full moon above me
My Mexican lady Lord how she loved me
ADown on the Rio Grande
ELaughing singing in the warm night air
DLoving that woman with the raven hair we were
ADown on the Rio Grande
DStrolling with my lover hand in hand
Oh I'd Bmgive anything to be
EDown on the Rio AGrande
DEndless highways and wide open spaces
Children smile with their sun burnt faces
ADown on the Rio Grande
DAll the love that my lady was giving
Was the sweetest part of living
ADown on the Rio Grande
EAnd if these memories could take me there
DI'd be loving my woman with the raven hair I'd be
ADown on the Rio Grande
DStrolling with my lover hand in hand
Oh I'd Bmgive anything to be
EDown on the Rio AGrande
Down on the Rio Grande
DStrolling with my lover hand in hand
Oh I'd Bmgive anything to be
EDown on the Rio AGrande

I remember the palm trees swaying

Across the river the sweet music playing

Down on the Rio Grande

Out on the levee with the full moon above me

My Mexican lady Lord how she loved me

Down on the Rio Grande

Laughing 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 in hand

Oh I'd give anything to be

E A

Down on the Rio Grande

Endless highways and wide open spaces

Children smile with their sun burnt 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 in hand

Oh I'd give anything to be

E A

Down on the Rio Grande

Strolling with my lover hand in hand

Oh I'd give anything to be

E A
