Letra de Rio Grande

This place plays tricks on me
I don’t know why I’m here
So peaceful and serene
But it only brings me tears
Good lord it only brings me tears
[Chorus]
My bad luck boots
And my hard luck hand
My coal black thoughts
Reappear, reprimand
And hold my head
To the silt, to the sand
To the bone-white dead
Of the Rio Grande
I return every last time
With a strong and a hopeful heart
But under a mocking blue sky
Somehow it all just crumbles apart
Oh it all just crumbles apart
[Chorus]
My bad luck boots
And my hard luck hand
My coal black thoughts
Reappear, reprimand
And hold my head
To the silt, to the sand
To the bone-white dead
Of the Rio Grande
The pines have lost their green
Now they stare without a sound
The wind’s too cold to sing
Snow is heavy on the ground
Heavy on the ground
