Blue rose of the Rio I can see her now
G
As she looked that day when I rode away through a golden dawn
D7
It was there by the Rio that we made our vows
G
Then we kissed goodbye what a fool was I for I traveled on
G7 C D7 C
I should have known as we kissed such heaven as this could only be
A7 D7
Paradise's lost if it would tossed away so free
G D7
Must I wish for manana that will never come true
G
Blue rose of the Rio my answer is you
