By The River Of The Roses

I met her by the river of the roses



The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo



I left her by the river of the roses



With tear-dimmed eyes she whispered I'll miss you so







All the roses have faded since we've been apart



But the one rose she gave me will always bloom within my heart



And someday by the river of the roses



I don't know when but we'll meet again I know



She's waiting by the river of the roses



The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo



[ steel ]



All the roses have faded...
