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
