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
