The boy was in his parents' cabana He to the thunder of guns in the night And there in the dark he saw three His was shouting, "Boy run for your life!" He prayed and he wept at the sight he saw His and papa lay dead on the floor They laughed as he ran and they 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 brain And hand on your gun
A quiet little village was south of Reno Where had told him he might find the men And in the stairway, they're guzzling the vino The Mexicanos were laughing again He his sombrero away from his face His cool was pounding in place The stared at the man they can see And who this Pistolero could be
Oh, an angel of death, you go Desperado from more will he run Oh, Riding up the wind and rain With burning in your brain And hand on your gun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... You're the companero And the what you see Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... Death will be your While you follow dream
He looked contempt at the cowardly killers His eyes were as cold as the in his heart "Get ready to fire and con dios." He lowered the hand that would blow them 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 through the wind and With revenge burning in your Now it's over and
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... the devil's companero And the what you see Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh... Pistole-, Pistolero... Death will be companero While you follow dream Oh oh oh ooohhh... ooohhh... ooohhh...
