"Rosa Rio" lyrics - JIM REEVES

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentina skies
There with a beautiful lady
With her dark and sparkiling eyes.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental Aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die.
Aye, aye, aye, aye

The parents were rich Estenaciaros
And I was just the one of the hands
Who hearded ten thousand cattles
On their ten thousand acres of land.

But I was a very poor cowboy
And we lived in worlds far apart
So how could I tell her I loved her
Or speak of the love in my heart.

[Instrumental]

The lady I loved never loved me
The lady I loved never knew
The day that she married another
A poor cowboy's heart broke in two.

And I know that she'll never miss me
Or notice that I'm even gone
Cowboy who saddled her pony
Now rides through the dark night alone.

[Instrumental]

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentina skies
There with a beautiful lady
With her dark and sparkiling eyes.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die.
Aye, aye, aye, aye...
