Rio Rojo Lyrics by The Mothers Eggs

bEAR

2006

Pounded in the ground is a hitching post
Where across the wood there's scratched a note
It reads “Whoever dare enter shall abandon all hope”
You take another step in el Rio Rojo
Your life is lost if you try to cross
Tu corazon will explode
My head is on fire with love and desire for just one more lifetime
But now because of these dirty hands
These dirty dirty hands
You’re gone forever
So now I say to myself “all I need is one bullet in my gun
And I'll go
To el Rio Rojo”
It's running red tonight
Where you’re gonna go there is no moon
The sun burns your bones every morning, night, and noon
And the Devil, he sits and points his finger at you and says
“You're dead. You're gonna drown in the River Red.”
So give to me all of your money and give to me your strongest horse
And give to me all of your whiskey to soften my remorse
I keep hearing you calling me back to el Rio Rojo
And I stand alone
It's running red tonight
With the blood of an innocent life
