Subject: ADD: Big Rio Grande River (Austin Lounge Lizards) From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Nov 19 - 02:38 PM Well, maybe the lyrics would be a good start. This would be a good song for the Department of Redundancy Department. BIG RIO GRANDE RIVER (performed by Austin Lounge Lizards) In the pass they call El Paso back in 1921 We saddled up and took a ride and ate a picnic lunch outside Beneath the fiery inferno of the hot August sun Alone with me unchaperoned, a local Texas miss Yes lovely Linda was the girl, her brilliance brightened up my world While I was serving sadly at the Fort that's known as Bliss We viewed a scenic vista in the valley far below We ate cheese quesadillas flanked by fragrant beef fajitas The insurgents were revolting in the streets of Mexico Suddenly to my surprise a sound came from my rear It was seventeen armed gunmen and plus one lone mounted horseman Who softly whispered, "Por favor, I'll take the food and beer" By sunrise it had dawned on me, she'd run off with the great Cabrito Kid His white mare, Caballo Blanca, would brave for him the blazing flames of hell And after each encounter, he would call his horse and mount her And they'd run off with a stirring grito yell His gold tooth flashing in the sun, his song forever endless in my head [CHORUS] Big Rio Grande River, it flows down to the sea Bringing back my memories of the past High up on Table Mesa, I feel her nearness close to me As the evening sun sets in the west The years have passed and gone, I'm now a wealthy billionaire The butler (?) calls my club by phone, I dine there by myself alone And shiver in the coldness of my air-conditioned lair Looking back in retrospect, my life's a trite cliché Chapters of past history keep echoing repeatedly They all come back except the girl who left and went away A phone bell rings, it's Linda's voice, she coos a warm hello (hello, hello, hello) Now I am thinking pensively, how we could live expensively So we arrange to meet up on the first floor down below As we leave the ATM machine she steps aside I hear, "Por favor, I'll take the cash," I turn and see a gold tooth flash Now side by side by side we sing together as we ride [CHORUS] Big Rio Grande River, it flows down to the sea Bringing back my memories of the past High up on Table Mesa, I feel her nearness close to me As the evening sun sets As the evening sun sets As the evening sun sets in the west https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rVyoVQPFmQ |
