He prayed and he at the sight that he saw His mama and lay dead on the floor laughed as he ran and they rode on their way But how will it be if they see him
Oh, an angel of death, you go Desperado from more will he run Oh, Riding up through the wind and With revenge burning in your And hand on your gun

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... You're the devil's And the what you see Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... Death be your companero While you follow dream
He looked with contempt at the cowardly His eyes as cold as the hate in his heart "Get ready to fire and con dios." He the hand that would blow them apart Then suddenly somewhere, the voice of his Was shouting, "Forgive and put down your gun!" He knew in his heart that the madness was He climbed on his and rode into the sun
Oh, Like an of death, you go from Mexico Never will he run Oh, Riding up the wind and rain With revenge in your brain Now it's over and
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... You're the companero And the devil's you see Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... Death be your companero While you your dream Oh oh oh ooohhh... ooohhh... ooohhh...
