On the Banks of the Old Guadalupe Lyrics by Vincent Neil Emerson

The Golden Crystal Kingdom

2023

[Verse 1]
Many a woman has tried
For my heart
Many I have loved so
But nothing compares
To her long flowing hair
And I'd hate to see her go
[Chorus]
On the banks of the old Guadalupe
That's where I found my true love
She was tied up in ribbons
Draped in white linen
That's where I found my true love
[Verse 2]
Well the Red River’s rusty
And the Wichita clear
The Trinity’s muddy as hell
The Brazos is fine
But darlin’ you're mine
And I can't stand to say farewell
[Chorus]
On the banks of the old Guadalupe
That's wherе I found my true love
She was tiеd up in ribbons
Draped in white linen
That's where I found my true love
[Verse 3]
Well the catfish are jumpin’
And all the birds in the trees
Are singin’ a sweet lullaby
They're whistlin’ a tune
I'm a comin’ home soon
I'll be there by the close of the night
[Chorus]
On the banks of the old Guadalupe
That's where I found my true love
She was tied up in ribbons
Draped in white linen
That's where I found my true love
[Verse 4]
My Spanish love
On the wings of a dove
Near the ripple of the moon light shine
All the pennies have fallen
Down the old wishin’ well
Al that copper is glowin’ so fine
[Chorus]
On the banks of the old Guadalupe
That's where I found my true love
She was tied up in ribbons
Draped in white linen
That's where I found my true love
That's where I found my true love
