Senorita!

These days I am swpet away by the wonderful old english classics by some of the veterans .. as Bob Dylan, Niel Diamond, Don Williams, Keeny Rogers .. I am exploring the world of goof English music lyrics : here is one such such a nice simple song ...

Senorita (Don Williams)
-----------------------

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 back,
In the 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 would never win her heart
'Cause of some family scars left by the rain forest
But oww... how he loved her

Senoritra passing by
Pardon me if i stop and ask you why
Senorita 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 all the things that he could'nt change
And then he told her that he loved her
And studied her reaction
And by the time the spring rains came
They were married
And there's an ol' song that my family used to sing
'Bout a young cowboy and a mexican girl
How they fell in love

Senorita passing by
Pardon me if i stop and ask you why
Senorita could it be
Someone like you could love someone like me

Senoritra passing by
Pardon me if i stop and ask you why
Senorita could it be
Someone like you could love someone like
Someone like you could love someone like me

I have the song with me in mp3, I wish I could attach that along with this .. but I think it is not too difficult to find it on the net .. one should listen to it simultaneously looking at the lyrics.

The other song I have been humming these days is Bob Dylan's Mr Tambourine man (this inspired Suman to write his "Gaanwala")!
