Rosa Rio

My heart is in Rosa Rio under the Argentina skies
There with a beautiful lady with her dark and sparkiling 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 heard it 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
I know that she'll never miss me or notice that I'm even gone
Cowboy who saddled her ponny now rides through the dark night alone
My heart is in Rosa Rio...
