"Rosa Rio" lyrics - DANIEL O'DONNELL

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentine sky
There with a beautiful lady
With dark and sparkeling eyes.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental, aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die.
Aye, aye, aye, aye.

Her parents were rich Estenaciaros
And I was just the one of the hands
Who hearded ten thousand cattle
On their ten thousand acres of land.

And I was a very poor cowboy
We lived in world's far apart
How could I tell her I loved her
Or speak of the love in my heart.
(Aye, aye, aye, aye.)

The lady I loved never loved me
The lady I loved never knew
The day that she married another
A poor cowboy's heart broke in two.

I know that she'll never miss me
Or notice that I'm even gone
Cowboy who saddled her pony
Now rides through the dark night alone.
Aye, aye, aye, aye.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentine sky
There with a beautiful lady
With her dark and sparkeling eyes.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die.
Aye, aye, aye, aye...
