Rose Of Old Monterey


I met her in old monterey
on a night that was filled with romance
we listened to violins play
sweet music that have us in trance
i knew you were mine from the start
your eyes were mischeated and gay
as i kissed my rose of the border
that night down in old monterey
let's go manana one night
with a lifetime to live
sweet primadona
(my heart wanted only to give)
i won't forget you
though duty forbids me to stay
i'll be back when the first petals fall
on my rose down in old monterey
let's go manana one night...
