St. Maria, watch over us please As we stumble in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, nothing so sweet As the undying of a South Texas girl As the undying love of a South Texas
St. Mother Maria, watch us please As we around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's so sweet As the love of a South Texas girl
St. Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's so sweet As the undying love of a South girl
