Rosalita

(album: 4 Aces - 1996)

Rosalita Rosie
That Mexican moon shining bright
Oh, but with Paco an' Pepe looking on
No, I don't feel right
I think I could love you
But I just can't have you alone
So I guess I'll pack up, go back
To my West Texas home

I met this señorita
On a trip down to Ole Mexico
She was sitting in the shade of a cactus
By fire aglow
I sit down beside her and smiled her
A Texas "Hello"
Oh, with her mother and father looking on
From the window

Rosalita Rosie
That Mexican moon shining bright (Shining so bright)
Oh, with your mother and father looking on
You know I don't feel right
Think I could love you
But I just can't have you alone (Have you alone)
So I guess I'll pack up, go back
To my West Texas home

(Flaco)

I offered my hand
We walked through fields of corn
Mountains were gleaming an' steaming
With the sun going down
Turkeys were sleeping and the burros
Were bellowing low
When I leaned down to kiss her
Her sister say "No"

Rosalita Rosie
That Mexican moon shining bright (Shining so bright)
Oh, with your sister Consuelo looking on
No, I don't feel right
Think I could love you
But I just can't have you alone (Have you alone)
Oh, I guess I'll pack up, go back
To my West Texas home

So I guess I'll pack up, go back
West Texas home
So I guess I'll pack up, go back
West Texas home
