George Jones - San Antonio Rose Lyrics
Written by Bob Wills (As performed by Ray Price on "San Antonio Rose - A Tribute To The Great Bob Wills") Spoken intro: Hi, neighbors, this is our new album And we've chosen songs from the great Bob Wills Who is a legend As far as we in the business are concerned And I know, people across the United States You know, we finally call him the "Old Man" Because to us, that's just what he is You'll always know him by the lonesome fiddle The white hat, the high-heeled boots The cigar smoke, and some of these wonderful songs We hope you like our version of 'em As we pay tribute to one of the greatest of all time Bob Wills Deep within my heart lies a melody A song of old San Antone Where in dreams I live with a memory 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 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 And that moonlit pass beside the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone (Repeat last two verses)
