Rio Grande

As I was roaming along the Rio Grande

I saw het staring at the stream

Her gaze was hollow and her skin was so pale

She took me beneath her veilShe said she waited for her love to return

Who had vanished here last year

I lay beside her as we shared the night

Then she wept herself to sleep, as she cried:

Come back, come back, let me say farewell

I repent, I resent, this cruel fate of mineDon't cry my baby, Don't cry my baby

Don't cry, Don't cryI took one last look at the Rio Grande

The only witness of the games she plays, and then

Cold steel, ran through my spine, as she kissed me goodbye

And I fell on my knees, into the river, where the stream took me awayDon't cry my baby, Don't cry my baby

Don't cry, Don't cryNo llores mas, No llores mas
