Sonidos en Rojo (XV) Townes Van Zandt near the Red River

We crossed the wild Pecos We forded the Nueces 

We swum the Guadalupe And we followed the Brazos 

Red River runs rusty The Wichita clear 

But down by the Brazos I courted my dear (...)

Singing li, li, li, le, le, le 

Lend me your hand 

Li, li, li, le, le, le 

Lend me your hand 

Li, li, li, le, le, le 

Lend me your hand 

There's many a river That waters the land

Now the fair Angelina Runs glossy and gliding 

The crooked Colorado Runs weaving and winding 

The slow San Antonio Courses and plains 

But I never will walk By the Brazos again

She kissed me and she hugged me And she called me her dandy 

The Trinity's muddy But the Brazos quick sandy 

She kissed me and she hugged me And she called me her own 

But down by the Brazos She left me alone

Now the girls of Little River They're plump and they're pretty 

The Sabine and the Sulphur Hold beauties a'many 

The banks of the Neches There are girls by the score 

But down by the Brazos I'll wander no more
