I met her by the river of the roses
|
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
|
I left her by the river of the roses
|
With tear-dimmed eyes she whispered I'll miss you so
|
|
All the roses have faded since we've been apart
|
But the one rose she gave me will always bloom within my heart
|
And someday by the river of the roses
|
I don't know when but we'll meet again I know
|
She's waiting by the river of the roses
|
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
|
[ steel ]
|
All the roses have faded...
