As I was roaming along the Rio Grande I saw het staring at the stream Her gaze was hollow and her skin was so pale She took me beneath her veil She said she waited for her love to return Who had vanished here last year I lay beside her as we shared the night Then she wept herself to sleep, As she cried: Come back, come back, Let me say farewell I repent, I resent, This cruel fate of mine Don't cry my baby, Don't cry, Don't cry Don't cry my baby, Don't cry, Don't cry I took one last look at the Rio Grande The only witness of the games she plays, And then Cold steel, Ran through my spine, As she kissed me goodbye And I fell on my knees, Into the river, Where the stream took me away Don't cry my baby, Don't cry my baby Don't cry, Don't cry Don't cry my baby, Don't cry my baby Don't cry, Don't cry No llores mas, No llores mas No no, no no No llores mas, No llores mas No no
