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?
