Ridin' on the Rio Lyrics

Ridin' on the Rio, on beside the Rio
Silver braided through the golden sand
Where slowly flows the Rio, rose my rose along the Rio
Bloomin' by the silver Rio Grande

Where I go, she waits I know
Where we parted long ago, trimming like the roses on the borderland
My lonely days begin, with her name upon the wind
And I'm longing for that sunny Texas sky and sand

So I started for the Rio, lips are parted on the Rio
She holds all I ever wanted in her hand
Stars above the Rio, love is on the Rio
Waitin' by the silver Rio Grande

Where I go, she waits I know
Where we parted long ago, trimming like the roses on the borderland
My lonely days begin, with her name upon the wind
I'm longing for that sunny Texas sky and sand

So I started for the Rio, lips are parted on the Rio
She holds all I ever wanted in her hand
Stars above the Rio, love is on the Rio
Waitin' by the silver Rio Grande
