Hank Snow - Senorita Rosalita Lyrics

Recorded by Hank Snow



Rosalitia, my Rosalitia, are you waiting for me

Just as you promised me you would

Rosalitia, senorita Rosalitia, I'd fly 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 Rosalitia I knew my heart would 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



Rosalitia, my Rosalitia, are you waiting for me

Just as you promised me you would

Rosalitia, senorita Rosalitia, I'd fly 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 the ship was 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

Rosalitia, my Rosalitia, are you waiting for me

Just as you promised me you would

Rosalitia, senorita Rosalitia, I'd fly back tonight

To you like a seagull if I could
