San Antonio Rose (Live Version)

Alright, so this time I got Joan's little song

It's been around for quite some time now

Well taken us off of hamburgers and puttin' us on steaks

We gonna change it up a little bit and call it San Antonio Rose

Deep within my heart lies a melody

A song of old San Antone

Where in dreams I live with a memory (yes, yes go on)

Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange as the blue, up above

A moonlit path that only she would know

Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor, knows only my heart

Cme back my Rose, Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart

Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know

Still live in my heart all alone

For that moonlit pass by the Alamo

And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart

Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart

Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know

Still live in my heart all alone

For that moonlit pass by the Alamo

And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

I guess that's been the all top best seller in western swing

And here's the fella that wrote it and made it popular

Brother Bob once again

Well ah, Bill you know, a few years come to think of it since

About 37, how many times we've played this thing?

No, but I'd hate to, I tell you what, I'd like to have just one nickel

For everytime you played Antonio Rose

Well let me see, 38 nickels would be how much?

Well that'll be about a dollar and 42 cents

You'd be well off my boy, about right

No, we've played it lots of times, yeah I know you have Bob

Most of the time, it's twice tonight, it's funny

We haven't got too awful tired of it, have we boys?

Of course no
