I’ve loved San Antonio Rose since I was a Freshman in college. In Winter of 1994 I learned about this wonderful song from Music in Society. Ever since then, I got hooked on this song.
Kipping Uncle Bob Alive loved Ray ever sense i heard of him about 1993. I was in Germany in 1971 playing Bob Wills music in our US Army barrack half of them I hate the other half going I love it. Most of them had never heard anything like this before. Love Ray Benson for what he stands for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was privileged enough to be in a supper club in Santa Ana California in 1983 or '84 and Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel were playing! Been a fan ever since!
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 pass that only she would know Still hears my broken song of love Moon in all your splendor know 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 that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone 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 splendor know 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 that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
@@markstephenson6023 my feeling of it is that Texas was it's own nation once and it will be again. Not to mention That Texas seceded once too. So I see it happening again and someday soon.
Been seeing big Ray and asleep for over 35 years around Texas still kick in ass.if anyone knows about broken spoke in Austin. Check it out around this time of year they usually do a show there. And it will blow u away
Thank you for the lyrics Mr. Decastro; been singing this song to myself for over 85 years and never new all the words; excuse me for misspelling your name, and for that I apologize!
Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen laid the path for these guys to succeed. If you haven’t listened to the album “We’ve Got A Live One Here” you’re missing out.
Saw them at Minnestota State fair couldn't believe my luck because i didn't know they would be there.Went and talked to them after the show and got Ray to sighn my bumper sticker which i dearly treasured does anyone else have a bumper sticker that says asleep at the wheel.
I wish I could play for them as a jazz banjoist I also play Texas swim and county. But probably next to impossible to get through the people in the way.
Read the comment below I thought maybe II wrote it . I was also in Germany in 1971 anytime i was around anyone and decided I liked them here would come that question ever heard pf Bob Wills I am sure most of them still know how Bob Will's and the Texas Playboy's are !!!!!!!!!! Me and this other guy were the traveling sales men for Bob Willis and the Texas Play Boys!!!!!!!!!!!
@@richerdjones1988 Ray said once, "I'm Jewish, I'm from New York and I've never been poor." I read that many years ago and damn, where would Western Swing be without him? I've been a fan since about 1973!
@@jodywilke4642 Ain't that a fact. Jewish or not,(who the hell cares except idiots) I wish to hell Asleep would come back to Toronto- I last saw them in 1996 in a western-themed bar that is now a drugstore.
![Asleep At The Wheel - Greatest Hits [HQ Audio]](/img/1.gif)
A classical big hit that will live forever. I’ll be 93 in May and this song makes me glad I am alive!
I am 85, born in Oklahoma and grew up 8 miles into Arkansas listening to Bob Wills on KVOO Tulsa...
Bob would be proud. Asleep At The Wheel - since 1970.
Love Asleep at the Wheel! Thank you for keeping Western Swing music alive! God bless Texas!
My parents danced to Bob Wills and the Playboys many times. Thanks Ray for keeping this music alive.
Ray was great in 1972, and he's great today.
Paul Richter
He doesn't get older he gets BETTER!
He sure is! I've got a crush on Ray Benson!😁💒

Keith Pannell
Love Asleep at the Wheel
The Wheel never gets old - legends!!!
What a wonderful gig this man has had! Outa college playing 8 yo the bar, rockin life down the track! Beautiful music
These guys are fabulous in person
Have seen them twice. Great shows.
Lucky enough to hear Bob Wills in his day. And have a dance with my dad. Nothing like the original. Bob had everyone up on the dance floor.
They’re the greatest band ever!!! 👍👍😎😃
What a GREAT BAND. Been a fan for years. REAL MUSIC.
True country music as it should be.
True WESTERN music as it should be. There IS a difference!!
@@michaelrutledge7048 Western swing!
The greatest country song ever!
My favorite country music is bluegrass, western swing and yodel cowboy music.
Very smooth fiddle bowing. Long bowing.
so good to hear some classic country brought back.good job asleep at the wheel!!!
Oh this song brings back memories.. Love ya' dad.
Now that's western swing::!!
Nice fiddle playing and tight band-always with that great swing beat that keeps it moving!
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 pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know 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 that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
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 splendor know 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 that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Loved this. Wish I could have been there to hear it in person!
Best Band in Tx
BRAVO!!
Saw Asleep at the Wheel at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa several times. Awesome experience
An old Wyoming cowboy really loves your music.
Finally i found this song. I love it.
I wish I could see Y'all in person; such a great sound and gig. I can't find a single song I wouldn't look forward to hearing.
Hey guys! Bring the Wheel back to Towanda PA again! We'll give you a great welcome! Better than the last time!
Great rendition
The National Anthem of Texas!
Starcade - You're obviously not from Texas. Pity!
Texas is Sovereign Republic. Deal with it. Don't like here? Go back to where you Came From!
How little you know, Bless your Heart.

Can't beat that Texas swing!
a Masterpiece !!
Have loved this song for 60 plus years.
One of my all time favorites.
Bob Wills will surely be proud of your interpretation 💚👍👏💪
Appreciated the Jason's performance !
Thank you for the lyrics Mr. Decastro; been singing this song to myself for over 85 years and never new all the words; excuse me for misspelling your name, and for that I apologize!
great song super great band....
Nice tribute to Bob Wills with the comments.
SOOOO LOVE THIS!!!!!!
I started my career in the Air Force, on 1 Feb 1968 Lackland AFB, San Antonio.
A masterpiece.
A violin can never compare to some great fiddling.
Violins have strings, fiddles have strangs
Dang, I was always told that they are the same exact musical instrument. I am devastated.
cool video. Thanks a lot for sharing. :D
These guys are great.
The long and short of it was that his bowing is good.
Wish I could find this version as a ringtone
Saw Ray at the bay front plaza in corpus Christi in 91 I. Me an Freddy fender were there played to open the show
I think Bob would love them just as much as I do.
I love this
Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen laid the path for these guys to succeed. If you haven’t listened to the album “We’ve Got A Live One Here” you’re missing out.
I'm from Cowtown (Ft Worth) 189 miles N of Austin. Ray you da man And you can quote me.
If you never heard it, listen to the version by Floyd Cramer. It on You Tube.
Great music
Omg the steel guitar and fiddle player are amazing
It would more gooder if Katie Shore and Cindy Cashdollar were there, on those instruments. Just sayin'.
Saw them at Minnestota State fair couldn't believe my luck because i didn't know they would be there.Went and talked to them after the show and got Ray to sighn my bumper sticker which i dearly treasured does anyone else have a bumper sticker that says asleep at the wheel.
Great! The fiddle player's comments sure reminds me of Bob Wills himself!
"Ah yeessssss.......Riiggggggghhtt!"
Great❤😮
I wish I could play for them as a jazz banjoist I also play Texas swim and county. But probably next to impossible to get through the people in the way.
Yes, yes,, go on,,
Never yet heard a bad version of the song.
Bing Crosby believe it or not; tooo slow.
😂❤LOVE IT

Great job
He looks very cool like this....when his beard goes everywhere he looks like crazy Manson.
It's no good without patsy. She gave the song life
She translated it for the mortals
Excellent! I love this video, and Asleep At The Wheel--only one problem, the rude people down in front, walking around and talking, during the song.😒💒
Love bob wills Jr😂
I still like Homer and Jethro's version best.
Just wondering; how long has it been since Cindy Cashdollar played the steel guitar with the band?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asleep_at_the_Wheel_members#Lineups
Brazos ca.? or?
Brazos Nights in Waco, Texas.
Asleep at wheel great ba d I e not Ray and the boys
Who is the steel player?
Pure Gray Gold Sublime fur surr..! No I dunno sorry
@@agork Eddie Rivers
Too bad Texas isn't free anymore.
Isn't Jason just beaut on that fiddle...
Ray is so big that his guitar looks like a toy..
He is almost 7 feet tall.
Give me a chance Ray…your drummer needs a break!
Biggest Jew since Samson.
Samson was not a Jew.
He was tribe of Dan,
Son of Israel, yes.

Lawrence Lewis Amen! Ray Benson is SO talented, and he's an excellent musician--people always have to make dumb comments, about people's religion.😔💒
