Cool, cool me down river Pedernales
My heart's a-burning for that hill country girl
Look and I'll find along the Pedernales
The answer, no question, my hill country girl

Chorus:
The kiss on her lips is cool as the water
Sweeter than blue bonnets, sweeter than spring
The light in her eyes has left me believin'
Can't help but lovin' that hill country girl

What can I do river Pedernales
What can I say to my hill country girl
Here's where I stand along the Pedernales
Come take my hand, my hill country girl
