Tom Russell - Down the Rio Grande lyrics
Baby pulled her blue dress on and walked out in the night Left one silk stocking dangling from the bedside light I sobered up and called her name just before the dawn I followed her footprints through the sand and I knew where she had gone Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande. I pulled out of Albuquerque - must have been past 8.00 Four cups of coffee and I hit the Interstate Rollin' through Las Cruces I thought I saw her car She always said she'd go someday, but she never said how far Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande. Chorus: Maybe she's in Brownsville, she's got some family there She always talked about the salty Gulf Coast air Where the river ends Down the Rio Grande. I saw an old grey heron flyin' south against the wind Storm clouds over Juarez rollin' down to the Big Bend I called her name in Esperanza’s dusty desert rain Who knows what the hell I’d say if I found her again Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande. Turned south on Highway 90 – sky began to clear Black mountains out ahead, a red sundown in the rear view mirror Haunted by her dark wet skin rollin’ next to mine I swore that things would change if I could hold her one more time On the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande. Chorus I bought a bottle in Del Rio and I pulled out off the road I spent the night a-starin’ at the lights of Mexico I walked down to border bridge about the break of day I threw that empty bottle off and watched it float away Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande. Chorus: Now I’m on my way to Brownsville on the Gulf of Mexico Just like that empty bottle I may sink or else I’ll flow To the river’s end Down the Rio Grande. Baby pulled her blue dress on and walked out in the night Down the Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande… |
