A Texan And A Girl From Mexico Lyrics
A Texan And A Girl From Mexico - Anita Bryant
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 could 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 her held her oh so tight
The sound of gunfire
Filled the night
The lovers sighed and then
They kissed their last goodbye
If you 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
