I danced with an angel one night neath the stars
While cowboys were singing and playing guitars
The tune they were playing was a beautiful waltz
And they called it Bandera and the Bandera Waltz
The music so sweet seemed to whisper to me
She loves me she loves me what else can it be
Now she's gone and left me with the love that was false
But I'll remember Bandera and the Bandera Waltz
