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
Down on the Rio Grande
Endless highways and wide open spaces
