Rosa Rio - Jim Reeves

My heart is in Rosa Rio

Under the Argentina skies

There with a beautiful lady

With her dark and sparkling 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

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

My heart is in Rosa Rio

Under the Argentina skies

There with a beautiful lady

With her dark and sparkling 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…
