Stood a building by the river in a place called Bordertown
|
Me and my friend Little Steven used to take our money down
|
We were only seventeen then, starving for experience
|
If you had 'bout twenty dollars, you could find a true romance
|
|
Friday came around
|
We were going down to Bordertown
|
|
Was a man named Dollar Bill there, take your money at the door
|
I'd drink an hour, build my courage, go get what I came there for
|
Was a girl named Rosalita, heart as big as Tennessee
|
Save my money every week just to get her close to me
|
|
Friday came around
|
I was going down to Bordertown
|
I was going down to Bordertown
|
|
Rosalita, Spanish Rose
|
Laughed at me when I proposed
|
I was drunk and feeling blue
|
Said, "I'll make an honest girl of you."
|
|
Oh no, she shot me down
|
Down to the ground in Bordertown
|
I was going down to Bordertown
|
|
Many years have come and gone, I gotta wife and family now
|
Drive a truck for Carolina, sometimes takes me through that town
|
Park my rig upon the land where the building used to stand
|
Sit remembering Rosalita, turned a young boy to a man.
|
|
Friday came ar4ound
|
I was going down, I was going down
|
Friday came around
|
I was going down to Bordertown
|
I was going down to Bordertown
|
I was going down to Bordertown
|
