Down below the Rio Grande,
A senorita held my hand
And sweetly sang an old melody
Without a worry or a care
A rose she gave me from her hair
Then she whispered, "Si, Senor, si, si"
In a cabaret we danced the hours away
Her eyes told more than words dare could say
I told her I had to go
Left her down in Mexico
The band played Spanish Two-Step soft and low
Instrumental Break
I told her I had to go
Left her down in Mexico
The band played Spanish Two-Step soft and low
A senorita held my hand
And sweetly sang an old melody
Without a worry or a care
A rose she gave me from her hair
Then she whispered, "Si, Senor, si, si"
In a cabaret we danced the hours away
Her eyes told more than words dare could say
I told her I had to go
Left her down in Mexico
The band played Spanish Two-Step soft and low
Instrumental Break
I told her I had to go
Left her down in Mexico
The band played Spanish Two-Step soft and low
