(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI/Frontera Music, ASCAP)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
I guess she put her blue dress on<br />
<br />
And walked out late last night<br />
<br />
Left one silk stocking <br />
<br />
Dangling from the bedside light<br />
<br />
I sobered up and called her name <br />
<br />
Just before the dawn<br />
<br />
I saw her footprints in the sand <br />
<br />
And knew that she had gone<br />
<br />
Down the Rio Grande.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I pulled out of Albuquerque <br />
<br />
Prayin` I wasn`t late<br />
<br />
I got a couple cups of coffee<br />
<br />
At some joint off the interstate<br />
<br />
Passin` through Las Cruces<br />
<br />
I swear I saw her car<br />
<br />
She always said she`d go someday<br />
<br />
But never said how far<br />
<br />
Down the Rio Grande.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe she`s in Brownsville<br />
<br />
She`s got some family there<br />
<br />
She was always talkin` ‘bout<br />
<br />
The salty Gulf Coast air<br />
<br />
Where the river ends<br />
<br />
Down the Rio Grande.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I saw an old grey heron<br />
<br />
Flyin` south against the wind<br />
<br />
Storm clouds over Juarez<br />
<br />
Rollin` east to the Big Bend<br />
<br />
I drove down Highway Ninety<br />
<br />
Through a dusty desert wind<br />
<br />
I didn`t know where it would lead me<br />
<br />
Or if I`d find her again<br />
<br />
Down the Rio Grande.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I lit my last cigarette<br />
<br />
As the sky began to clear<br />
<br />
Black mountains up ahead<br />
<br />
A red sundown in my mirror<br />
<br />
Lost all the border <br />
<br />
‘Tween the future and the past<br />
<br />
One fading slowly<br />
<br />
And the other comin` fast<br />
<br />
Down the Rio Grande.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe she`s in Brownsville<br />
<br />
She`s got some family there<br />
<br />
She was always talkin` ‘bout<br />
<br />
The salty gulf coast air<br />
<br />
Where the river ends<br />
<br />
Down the Rio Grande.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I bought a bottle in Del Rio<br />
<br />
And I parked on the side of the road<br />
<br />
I stayed up all night <br />
<br />
Starin` at the lights of Mexico<br />
<br />
And I walked down to border bridge<br />
<br />
At the break of day<br />
<br />
And I threw that empty bottle off<br />
<br />
And I watched it float away<br />
<br />
Down the Rio Grande.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe she`s in Brownsville<br />
<br />
She`s got some family there<br />
<br />
She was always talkin ‘bout<br />

Dave Alvin/Tom Russell

(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI/Frontera Music, ASCAP)

I guess she put her blue dress on

And walked out late last night

Left one silk stocking

Dangling from the bedside light

I sobered up and called her name

Just before the dawn

I saw her footprints in the sand

And knew that she had gone

Down the Rio Grande.

I pulled out of Albuquerque

Prayin` I wasn`t late

I got a couple cups of coffee

At some joint off the interstate

Passin` through Las Cruces

I swear I saw her car

She always said she`d go someday

But never said how far

Down the Rio Grande.

Maybe she`s in Brownsville

She`s got some family there

She was always talkin` ‘bout

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` east to the Big Bend

I drove down Highway Ninety

Through a dusty desert wind

I didn`t know where it would lead me

Or if I`d find her again

Down the Rio Grande.

I lit my last cigarette

As the sky began to clear

Black mountains up ahead

A red sundown in my mirror

Lost all the border

‘Tween the future and the past

One fading slowly

And the other comin` fast

Down the Rio Grande.

Maybe she`s in Brownsville

She`s got some family there

She was always talkin` ‘bout

The salty gulf coast air

Where the river ends

Down the Rio Grande.

I bought a bottle in Del Rio

And I parked on the side of the road

I stayed up all night

Starin` at the lights of Mexico

And I walked down to border bridge

At the break of day

And I threw that empty bottle off

And I watched it float away

Down the Rio Grande.

Maybe she`s in Brownsville

She`s got some family there

She was always talkin ‘bout

The salty gulf coast air

Where the river ends

Down the Rio Grande

Where the river ends.
