[Verse 1] I remember the palm trees swaying Cross the river the sweet music playing Down on the Rio Grande [Verse 2] Out on the levee with the full moon above me A Mexican lady, Lord how she loved me Down on the Rio Grande [PreChorus] Laughing and singing in the warm night air Loving that woman with the raven hair We were down on the Rio Grande [Chorus] Strolling with my lover hand in hand Lord Id give anything to be Down on the Rio Grande [Verse 3] Endless highways and wideopen spaces Children smile with their sun burned faces Down on the Rio Grande [Verse 4] All the love that my lady was giving Was the sweetest part of living Down on the Rio Grande [PreChorus] And if these memories could take me there Id be loving my woman with the raven hair Id be down on the Rio Grande [Chorus] Strolling with my lover hand in hand Lord Id give anything to be Down on the Rio Grande Down on the Rio Grande Strolling with my lover hand in hand Lord Id give anything to be Down on the Rio Grande Down on the Rio Grande Down on the Rio Grande
