"Oh now I want to go down to the Alamo Down where my Grandpa bit..." That's all there is in "Rio Grande" I can't find the lyrics for this verse anywhere which leads me to believe that it was scripted to fit the movie scene and stopped as Maureen O'Hara walks in. ...only 2 full verses in the movie which depicted a Cavalry post in the post Civil War West Circa 1870-1875. The song was written by Dale Evans. Taco stands didn't exist in the 1800's or at least they weren't called taco stands back then... Probably called a "Cantina", up here in the states a "Bar and Grill". here is Rosalie Allen's version ...for me too much yodeling and too many musical riffs. but to each his own... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xss1T7xxp4o Jake
