Rosita Alvires, 1970

Socorro, New Mexico. Going to a dance against her mother's wishes costs Rosita Alvires her life.  When the young woman gets on the dance floor, she slights her boyfriend, Hipolito. The young man resents being made a fool of and shoots Rosita three times.  "Luckily for Rosita," the ballad says, "although she received three bullet wounds, only one was fatal." Quality: Good.
