(Choir: Rio Bravo, humming.)

By the river Rio Bravo
I walk all alone
And I wonder as I wander by the river
Where my love has flown?

All the birds in the cottonwood above her
Know I love her, know I care
But my dreams, like the songs, she sang in Spanish
Seem to vanish in the air.

I wonder where.

So I wonder as I wander
Will love come along
Must I live ever after
By the memory of her song.

While the river Rio Bravo flows along.

(Choir: Rio Bravo, Rio Bravo.)

While the river Rio Bravo flows along.

(Choir: Rio Bravo...)
