| 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 when she walked back,
|
| In the cotton dress which danced 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 would never win her heart
|
| 'Cause of some family scars left by the range wars
|
| But oww… how he loved her
|
| Senoritra 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 could’nt change
|
| And then he told her that he loved her
|
| And studied her reaction
|
| And by the time the spring rains came
|
| They were married
|
| And there’s an ol' song that my family used to sing
|
| 'Bout a young cowboy and a mexican girl
|
| 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 Senoritra 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 |
