SOMEWHERE BY THE RIO BRAVO Happened long ago On a night in Mexico In a wild town Moon was gold Love was bold as the gun Luck was goin' right And it was certain as the night Began to die down The fair Aleen The local queen I had won But dear would be the crown In a lawless border town For this rover Pancho now Showed me how much it cost With a pistol full of spite In a flash of burnin' fright It was over When it came The final game I had lost Now I'm out somewhere By the Rio Bravo 'But a prayer Would ever return To Colorado
