Cool, cool me down river Pedernales My heart's a-burning for that hill country girl Look and I'll find along the Pedernales The answer, no question, my hill country girl Chorus: The kiss on her lips is cool as the water Sweeter than blue bonnets, sweeter than spring The light in her eyes has left me believin' Can't help but lovin' that hill country girl What can I do river Pedernales What can I say to my hill country girl Here's where I stand along the Pedernales Come take my hand, my hill country girl
