A Texan And A Girl From Mexico
There's a story that they tell, of long ago
'Bout a Texan and a girl from Mexico
How they met, and fell in love so hopelessly
Though they knew, their secret love would never be
Every night he'd ride across the Rio Grande
Every night he'd risk his life, to hold her hand
For he knew her father swore, to take the life
Of the cowboy, who would make Marie his wife
It was never meant to be
Still they kissed so tenderly
And they vowed their love
Would never ever die
As he held her, oh so tight
The sound of gunfire filled the night
The lovers sighed and then they kissed
Their last goodbye
If your ever ride across the Rio Grande
You will find two tombstones, on the desert sand
And they tell the story of, so long ago
'Bout a Texan and a girl from Mexico
'Bout a Texan and a girl from Mexico
How they met, and fell in love so hopelessly
Though they knew, their secret love would never be
Every night he'd ride across the Rio Grande
Every night he'd risk his life, to hold her hand
For he knew her father swore, to take the life
Of the cowboy, who would make Marie his wife
It was never meant to be
Still they kissed so tenderly
And they vowed their love
Would never ever die
As he held her, oh so tight
The sound of gunfire filled the night
The lovers sighed and then they kissed
Their last goodbye
If your ever ride across the Rio Grande
You will find two tombstones, on the desert sand
And they tell the story of, so long ago
'Bout a Texan and a girl from Mexico
