Oh Rosalita
Life is so much sweeter
Now you’re my senorita.
Hey Rosalita.
Hey Rosalita.
Speak to me in Spanish.
I’ll cook you up some chilli.
My inhibitions will vanish.
I just might do something silly.
Oh Rosalita
Life is so much sweeter
Now you’re my senorita.
Hey Rosalita.
Hey Rosalita.
Take me down to San Antone.
Please tell me we can go.
I wanna dance with you alone.
But it takes two to tango.
Oh Rosalita
Life is so much sweeter
Now you’re my senorita.
Hey Rosalita.
Hey Rosalita.
Con ojos oscuros y marrons.
Y pelo negro como noche.
Has rebado mi Corazon.
Pero est para ti para siempre.
Oh Rosalita
Life is so much sweeter
Now you’re my senorita.
Hey Rosalita.
Hey Rosalita.
Hey Rosalita.
Te amo Rosalita.

Initial love
05:59

This old oak tree stands in the field,
Providing shelter and a shield.
Its boughs won’t bend and its roots won’t yield.
It’s been here for eternity.
It’s where our love first made a start.
It’s where we promised we’d never part.
It’s where we carved our names in that heart –
JLK loves MJB.
And this tree’s gonna stand straight and tall.
Its branches ain’t ever gonna fall.
Holding the rain from above.
Protecting our initial love.
For a kiss and her sweet smile
I would walk that extra mile.
Then one day we walked together up that aisle,
Happy on our wedding day.
I close my eyes, I count to ten
And I can get that time back again.
Dotted line, stroke of the pen
And MJB is MJK.
And this church is gonna stand straight and tall.
These four walls ain’t ever gonna fall.
Reflecting light from above.
Protecting our initial love.
Across the ocean, far far away.
I wrote letters home every day.
S.W.A.L.K.
Capitals across the sea.
‘We regret …. line of duty.’
And now my baby comes home to me
In a casket made from that old oak tree.
JLK, RIP.
But this love’s gonna stand straight and tall.
These memories ain’t ever gonna fall.
Rising to heaven above.
Protecting our initial love.

Almost a cowgirl
04:23

She sits in her room in the city.
The TV’s just making her weep.
Life seems so short.
There’s a sales report
To write before she goes to sleep.
She used to know all the neighbours.
But now she’s scared who she might meet.
Life’s lost its charms.
Car alarms
Keep going off out in the street.
She’s almost a cowgirl.
It’s something she won’t regret.
She’s almost a cowgirl.
She just don’t know it yet.
The boots that she bought out in Texas
With Mexican roses inlaid
Are still in her closet.
She wonders now was it
Worth all that money she paid?
And her life, like that fringed buckskin jacket,
Just keeps coming apart at the seams.
She just can’t bear it –
No occasion to wear it.
Or was it too small for her dreams?
She’s almost a cowgirl.
It’s something she won’t regret.
She’s almost a cowgirl.
She just don’t know it yet.
She can hear that pedal steel sighing.
And the freight train riding the tracks.
It’s the sound of her wishes
As she washes those dishes
Then presses a sweater and slacks.
But one day she will soar like an eagle.
She’ll glide on that warm summer breeze.
Where the white waters foam,
She’s coming back home
To where her troubled mind feels at ease.
She’s almost a cowgirl.
It’s something she won’t regret.
She’s almost a cowgirl.
She just don’t know it yet.

Candles flicker, lights aglow.
On the dance floor moving slow.
Your hair is tied, my boots are laced.
And your arm around my waist,
To keep me from falling down.
To keep me from falling down.
The breeze that blows in from the bay
Will be the one to take you away.
But just before you turn to dust,
Hold me close because you must
Keep me from falling down.
Keep me from falling down.
