Senorita

Back in the innocent days

There was a young Cowboy who was in love with a Mexican girl

Only she didn't know it

And he would watch her as she walked back

In her cotton dress would dance in the wind

And her eyes held the stars

Now, she was the most beautiful thing that Cowboy had ever seen

Sent down straight from heaven

But he was afraid he'd never win her heart

Beause of some family scars left by the range wars

But oh, how he loved her

Senorita passing by

Pardon me if I stop and ask you why

Senorita, could it be?

Someone like you could love someone like me?

So he walked up to her

Tipped his hat and introduced himself

And she looked up at him and didn't know what to say

So he told her the story of his family

The trouble that brought the barbed wire

And all the things that he couldn't change

And then he told her that he loved her

And he studied her reaction

And by the time the spring rains came

They were married

Now, there's an old song that my family used to sing

'Bout a young Cowboy and a Mexican girl

And how they fell in love

Senorita passing by

Pardon me if I stop and ask you why

Senorita, could it be?

Someone like you could love someone like me

Senorita passing by

Pardon me if I stop and ask you why

Senorita, could it be?

Someone like you could love someone like

Someone like you could love someone like me
