On the Banks of the Old Guadalupe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Many a woman has tried For my heart Many I have loved so But nothing compares To her long flowing hair And I'd hate to see her go [Chorus] On the banks of the old Guadalupe That's where I found my true love She was tied up in ribbons Draped in white linen That's where I found my true love [Verse 2] Well the Red River's rusty And the Wichita clear The Trinity's muddy as hell The Brazos is fine But darlin' you're mine And I can't stand to say farewell [Chorus] On the banks of the old Guadalupe That's wherе I found my true love She was tiеd up in ribbons Draped in white linen That's where I found my true love [Verse 3] Well the catfish are jumpin' And all the birds in the trees Are singin' a sweet lullaby They're whistlin' a tune I'm a comin' home soon I'll be there by the close of the night [Chorus] On the banks of the old Guadalupe That's where I found my true love She was tied up in ribbons Draped in white linen That's where I found my true love [Verse 4] My Spanish love On the wings of a dove Near the ripple of the moon light shine All the pennies have fallen Down the old wishin' well Al that copper is glowin' so fine [Chorus] On the banks of the old Guadalupe That's where I found my true love She was tied up in ribbons Draped in white linen That's where I found my true love That's where I found my true love
