North of the border of Old I one day to the cowtown of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm wind was not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that would blush in red roses to Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the Dark eyes sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, was my lovers name
I met her down in Everyone in this border town called her the 'Rose' cowboys drank to Socorro Everyone her but I was the one that she chose
An outlaw all the rest Now my heart beats so Soon she will be at my
She a message a long time ago Socorro had to meet me at San Angelo I was of the chance I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for girl
I be with her, I can't stay away Nights spent her are lonely and so are the days If it means then I'll have to chance it Only a few moments more and be in my arms
At ten o' in the morning I tied my horse and I started to walk the street Where was Socorro, had she This was the day and the hour she wanted to meet
But something is wrong our plans And I fear death me Here on hot dusty street
Up on a but still I can see There hides a man with a rifle, it's at me I escape from the man with a rifle But are others just like him that I cannot see
Back of each the click of a gun Die if I stay and my love for her let me run Where is Socorro, will my see her Then in a moment she from a door down the street
"Up on your horse", she is "Ride out of town, it's a and they're waiting for you" But if I ride out, she must with me Then in a moment I know that our chances are
For a is well on its way And it my Socorro She as she falls in my arms
Tears dim my vision but I see The ranger that killed her is 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 his draw and I shot him him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or more I shoot him Now there are others just like him 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 sound of the lead as it robs me of 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 and it eases the pain Life is no more but together Even in death my lover, it's over, goodbye
