Lyrics
Rosa Danced In Veracruz
Words & Music by Margie, Art, Alton & S. Corey Copyright 2001 (c)
1st Verse
Rosa Danced in Veracruz
In satin skirts and patent shoes
With trumpets and her castanets
Her beating heart and beads of sweat
All for sale a dime a dance
She'd be your corazon
The mandolin would make her spin
"Amor" was written on the guitaron.......
Chorus
Rosa danced in candlelight with spirits of the dead
Rosa listened with her heart to what the spirits said
They say......Rosa
Don't leave Mexico!
Don't leave Mexico!
2nd Verse
Now, I came down to Veracruz
On two weeks pay, not much to lose
Cantina music pulled me in
I may not go home again
Rosa danced with me all night
She seemed my very own
The morning came and with the dawn
I was all alone, she was gone!
Chorus
Bridge
Voices in the candle glow
Have kept her here, she will not go
Americanos just like me
Have tried to win her patiently.........
Chorus
Rosa lives by candlelight...........
Rosa Danced in Veracruz.................
