Down On The Rio Grande
By Johnny Rodriguez
D
I remember the palm trees swaying
D
Across the river the sweet music playing
A
Down on the Rio Grande
D
Out on the levee with the full moon above me
D
My Mexican lady, Lord how she loved me
A
Down on the Rio Grande
E
Laughing, singing, in the warm night air
D
Loving that woman with the raven hair we were
Chorus:
A
Down on the Rio Grande
D
Strolling with my lover hand in hand
Bm
Oh I'd give anything to be
E A
Down on the Rio Grande
Endless highways and wide open spaces
Children smile with their sunburnt 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 that woman with the raven hair, I'd be
Chorus Twice
