Bob Wills New San Antonio Rose lyrics
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 path that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love, my own
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

"New San Antonio Rose" (originally and often referred to as just "San Antonio Rose") was the signature song of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. "San Antonio Rose" was an instrumental song written by Bob Wills, who first recorded it with the Playboys on November 28, 1938. Band members added lyrics and it was retitled "New San Antonio Rose". A fresh recording was made on April 16, 1940 (Okeh 05694) with a vocal by Tommy Duncan.
The song opens with the refrain:
Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone.
The song is written in the first person with the "Rose of San Antone" being the singer's lost love. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

Song written by Bob Wills in 1939 and recorded as an instrumental by Bob & The Texas Playboys. It became his signature song In. 1940 a couple of The Playboys wrote lyrics and they re-recorded it with Bob's long time vocalist Tommy Duncan under the title "New San Antonio Rose". It was one of Patsy Cline's biggest hits.
Merle Haggard was a great entertainer!
Great song. Thanks for sharing this video.
So love this song. I was born and raised in San Antonio and still remember every word of it.
Bob Wills was in Roy, New Mexico in a hotel the night he cobbled this song together from some stuff his band had been playing. Lyrics came later. It's always fun to see Freddy Powers singing harmony with Merle.
Just Great all good ....
I Love This Song
Beautiful beautiful! Great great sounds!! The awesome Merle Haggard adding to the beauty of this great song!
Really good, thank you.
Great version, the performance is incredible, just like a 'record'.
That was dope
That was awesome 👌 I didn't even know Merle used to play the fiddle...wow!
Ummm, he did the Bob Wills tribute album .....A Tribute to the Best Damn Fiddle Player in the World (or, My Salute to Bob Wills) in 1970 and played fiddle on all tracks.
That's awesome!
When country music was REALLY country music
GREAT!!! That Merle was and still the BEST country artist of all time. Bob Wills was good, but not as good as Merle! Janelle in Houston
I enjoyed Freddy Powers on this video.

Does anybody know who the musicians are? Are they members of Bob Wills' Texas Playboys?
The mandolin player is the legendary Tiny Moore and a Texas Playboy
