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
