I was down from a love that was falling I went drinkin' in old San Antone She walked in the bar and I watched her I saw that she was alone I sent her a drink and I waited I felt hypnotized till she spoke She asked me my name and I answered She told me her name was Rose And her dress was cut close but tastefully so When she danced she was light on her toes And I'll never forget the night when I met And danced with the San Antone Rose We spent almost all night together I talked and she held me close The pain I'd been feeling all ended That night with the San Antone Rose And her dress was cut close but tastefully so When she danced she was light on her toes And I'll never forget the night when I met And danced with the San Antone Rose No, I'll never forget the night when I met And danced with the San Antone Rose
