I went by my old elementary school in Pharr and remembered this song they taught us. Is it still sung in the Valley? If so, add a lyric.

"For we love our Valley home, way down upon the Rio Grande,

Yeah, that was more common back then. Mine was at Eli Whitney in Pharr in the 60's.

Going from Memory but it went like this

"For we love our Valley home
Way down upon the Rio Grande
Land of yours and land of mine
Land of the palm trees and the bright sunshine

There we live in paradise
where roses bloom on every hand
For we love our Valley home,
Way down upon the Rio Grande."

Comeby!
