Rosalita Rosie
That Mexican moon shinin' bright
Oh, but with Paco an' Pepe lookin' on
No, I don't feel right
I think I could love you
But I just can't have you alone
So I guess I'll pack up, go back
To my West Texas home

I met this señorita
On a trip down to Ole Mexico
She was sittin' in the shade of a cactus
By fire aglow
I sit down beside her and smiled her
A Texas "Hello"
Oh, with her mother and father lookin' on
From the window

Rosalita Rosie
That Mexican moon shinin' bright (Shinin' so bright)
Oh, with your mother and father lookin' on
You know I don't feel right
Think I could love you
But I just can't have you alone (Have you alone)
So I guess I'll pack up, go back
To my West Texas home
(Flaco)

I offered my hand
We walked through fields of corn
Mountains were gleamin' an' steamin'
With the sun goin' down
Turkeys were sleepin' and the burros
Were bellowin' low
When I leaned down to kiss her
Her sister say "No"

Rosalita Rosie
That Mexican moon shinin' bright (Shinin' so bright)
Oh, with your sister Consuelo lookin' on
No, I don't feel right
Think I could love you
But I just can't have you alone (Have you alone)
Oh, I guess I'll pack up, go back
To my West Texas home

So I guess I'll pack up, go back
West Texas home
So I guess I'll pack up, go back
West Texas home
