Lyrics

Oh my Rose of Mexico
It's so hard for me to go
You came to me and touched my heart
Dearest Rose, we now must part

For work brought me to Mexico
And here I met you, precious Rose
How I wish that I could stay
But I'll be back for you someday.

The charming land of Mexico
calls me back to my sweet Rose
Sent by God on angels' wings
Joyful spirit that she brings

With no family of her own
in this world, she's all alone.
But there's no sadness or despair,
in her thoughts or in her prayers.

Her radiant smile has captured me,
And with Rose I always see,
Joy and love that life should be,
Always hopeful, always free.

Chorus

I miss this ray of golden sun,
that shines so bright on everyone.
Spreading cheer where 'ere she goes,
that's the beauty of this rose.

I miss her face and heart aglow,
like sparkling crystals on the snow.
So one more time to Mexico
I'm going back to see my Rose

Chorus or Music

Now Rose is coming home with me,
a blessing to my family
For little Rose is six years old......
Orphan child, now my own!
