Words and Music by Bob Wills

Deep within my heart lies a melody

A song of old San Antone

Where in dreams I live with a memory

Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo

Enchantment strange as the blue up above

A moonlit pass that only she would know

Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendour

Hear only my heart

Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone

Lips so sweet and tender

Like petals falling apart

Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know

Still live in my heart all alone

For the moonlit pass by the Alamo

And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
