Rosa Rio - Jim Reeves

My heart is in Rosa Rio under the Argentine skies
There with a beautiful lady with her dark and sparkling eyes
My heart is in Rosa Rio your sentimental eye aye
There with a beautiful lady that I love the day that I die aye aye aye

The parents were rich Estenaciaros and I was just the one of the hands
Who herded their ten thousand cattle 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
I know that she'll never miss me or notice that I'm even gone
The cowboy who saddled her pony now rides through the dark night alone
