Tom Russell - Down the Rio Grande lyrics

Baby pulled her blue dress on and walked out in the night Left one silk stocking danglin' from the bedside light I sobered up and called her name just before the dawn I followed footprints through the sand, I knew where she had gone Down The Rio Grande Down the Rio Grande. Pulled out of Albuquerque, must have been past 8:00 Four cups of coffee and I hit the interstate Rolling through Las Cruces, I thought I saw her car She always said she'd go someday, she never said how far Down The Rio Grande, Down The Rio Grande Maybe she's in Brownsville, she's got some family there She always talked about the salty Gulf Coast air Where the river ends, Down The Rio Grande
