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
