The Rio Grande Songtext
von Kacy & Clayton

My sweetheart′s down in Oresta
My brother's in El Paso
On the northern shore the Lone Star State
On the south side of Mexico
On the northern shore the Lone Star State
On the south side of Mexico

Have you seen the Rio Grande?
Which way does it flow?
Which way does it flow?


My baby mare′s in the saddle
My buckskin's in the stall
It's hard to know which one of them
Will treat me best of all
It′s hard to know which one of them
Will treat me best of all

They′ll throw you from the saddle boys
They'll kick you in the stall
Kick you in the stall

Some poor boy′s getting buried
Another's just been born
The doctor does the best he can
When he rises in the morn
The doctor does the best he can
When he rises in the morn
But only God can tell which one
Gets buried and which one′s born
