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 when she walked by And 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 would never win her heart Because of some family scars left by the ranch wars But oh, how he loved her Señorita passing by Pardon me if I stop and ask you why Señorita, 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 of 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 ol' song that my family used to sing 'Bout a young cowboy and a Mexican girl And how they fell in love Señorita passing by Pardon me if I stop and ask you why Señorita, could it be Someone like you could love someone like me Señorita passing by Pardon me if I stop and ask you why Señorita, could it be Someone like you could love someone like Someone like you could love someone like me
