First Line: I COULD NOT BE SO WELL CONTENT
Subject(s): COWBOYS;MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS;RANCH LIFE;WEST (U.S.); MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;SOUTHWEST;PACIFIC STATES;
I COULD not be so well content,
So sure of thee,
Señorita,
But well I know you must relent
And come to me,
Lolita!

The Caballeros throng to see
Thy laughing face,
Señorita,
Lolita.
But well I know thy heart's for me,
Thy charm, thy grace,
Lolita!

I ride the range for thy dear sake,
To earn thee gold,
Señorita,
Lolita;
And steal the gringo's cows to make
A ranch to hold
Lolita!
