Rio Grande
There's a river that's deep and wide
But at times it's almost dry
It just depends on where you try to cross
It's a raging roaring river
It's a cool mountain stream
It's a river that's caused many men a loss
When the headwaters roll
The river starts to flow
Through Santa Fe and on through El Paso
Through a place we call Big Bend
It's carved a path down low
Separating Texas and Mexico
Roll on Rio Grande
Roll on, Roll on
Roll on Rio Grande, Roll on
Roll River Roll
In the western days of old
Sometimes the outlaws rode
To try to beat the law to Mexico
Sometimes the outlaws won
And made it to dry land
But sometimes a life was claimed by the Rio Grande
Many people have been lost
And the coyotes cost
In the illegal cross to El Norte
I see a mother lose Her son
And the man that leaves His wife
To cross in the night in search of a better life
To cross in the night in search of a better life
But at times it's almost dry
It just depends on where you try to cross
It's a raging roaring river
It's a cool mountain stream
It's a river that's caused many men a loss
When the headwaters roll
The river starts to flow
Through Santa Fe and on through El Paso
Through a place we call Big Bend
It's carved a path down low
Separating Texas and Mexico
Roll on Rio Grande
Roll on, Roll on
Roll on Rio Grande, Roll on
Roll River Roll
In the western days of old
Sometimes the outlaws rode
To try to beat the law to Mexico
Sometimes the outlaws won
And made it to dry land
But sometimes a life was claimed by the Rio Grande
Many people have been lost
And the coyotes cost
In the illegal cross to El Norte
I see a mother lose Her son
And the man that leaves His wife
To cross in the night in search of a better life
To cross in the night in search of a better life
