Señorita lyrics

[Spoken]

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 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'd never win her heart

because of some family scars left by the rain forest.

But ohhh, 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?

[Spoken]

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 old song that my family used to sing

about 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?
