North of the of Old Mexico I one day to the cowtown of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm was blowing Still not as warm as the lips that I to kiss
Cheeks would blush in red roses to shame Lips that were fresher than when kissed by the rain Dark eyes that sparkled much than diamonds She was a beauty, was my lovers name
I met her in Lorado Everyone there in this town called her the 'Rose' Mexican cowboys drank to Everyone loved her but I was the one she chose
An outlaw above all the Now my heart so madly Soon she will be at my
She sent a message a time ago Socorro had promised to me at San Angelo I was of the chance I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for this
I must be with her, I can't stay spent without her are lonely and so are the days If it death then I'll have to chance it Only a few moments more and she'll be in my
At ten o' clock in the I tied my horse and I to walk down the street Where was Socorro, had she This was the day and the hour that she wanted to
But something is wrong with our And I fear awaits me on this hot dusty street
Up on a but still I can see hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I escape from the man with a rifle But there are others just like him that I see
of each window the click of a gun Die if I and my love for her won't let me run is Socorro, will my eyes see her Then in a moment she from a door down the street
"Up on your horse", she is "Ride out of town, a trap and they're waiting for you" But if I ride out, she must with me Then in a moment I that our chances are gone
For a is well on its way And it finds my She dies as she in my arms
dim my vision but plainly I see The ranger that her is standing there waiting for me I walk to him, my one thought is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I swear that ranger will die
I beat his and I shot him him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly My gun is or more I would shoot him Now are others just like him that want me to die
Their are coming my way How they hurt when hit me The pain makes me fall to the
Gone is my strength, just the will to fight I hear the of the lead as it robs me of life If I must die, let me find Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments
Blindly I and it isn't in vain I touch the soft velvet hand and it the pain is no more but we're together Even in death she's my lover, it's over,
