By The River Of The Roses lyrics

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...
