Senorita Rosalita

(L.E. White - Ruby Moody)



Rosalita, my Rosalita

Are you waiting for me just as you promised me you would

Rosalita, senorita Rosalita

I'd climb back tonight to you like a seagull if I could.



The ship that I was stationed on

Docked on the shores of Spain

The night I met Rosalita

I knew my heart could never be the same.



Before the night was over

She promised she would wait for me

We danced until the break of dawn

I held her close and kissed her tenderly.



Rosalita, my Rosalita

Are you waiting for me just as you promised me you would

Rosalita, senorita Rosalita

I'd climb back tonight to you like a seagull if I could.

And then too soon the time had come

For us to say goodbye

I left her on the shores of Spain

She waved until my ship went out of sight.



The sweet caresses that we shared

Within my lonely heart still burn

Longing for the time to come when

I can say my love I have returned.



Rosalita, my Rosalita

Are you waiting for me just as you promised me you would

Rosalita, senorita Rosalita

I'd climb back tonight to you like a seagull if I could...
