North of the border of Old I rode one day to the of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm was blowing Still not as as the lips that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that would blush in red to shame that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain Dark eyes that sparkled brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers
I met her in Lorado Everyone there in this border called her the 'Rose' Mexican cowboys to Socorro loved her but I was the one that she chose
An outlaw all the rest Now my heart beats so she will be at my side
She sent a message a time ago Socorro had promised to me at San Angelo I was aware of the I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for girl
I must be with her, I can't away Nights spent her are lonely and so are the days If it means death I'll have to chance it Only a few moments more and be in my arms
At ten o' clock in the I tied my horse and I started to down the street was Socorro, had she forgotten This was the day and the hour that she wanted to
But something is wrong with our And I fear awaits me Here on this hot dusty
Up on a but still I can see hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I might escape from the man a rifle But there are others like him that I cannot see
of each window the click of a gun Die if I stay and my for her won't let me run is Socorro, will my eyes see her Then in a moment she runs from a down the street
"Up on horse", she is crying "Ride out of town, it's a trap and they're for you" But if I ride out, she ride 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 falls in my
Tears dim my vision but I see The ranger killed her is standing there waiting for me I walk to meet him, my one thought is him' He deserves and I swear that this ranger will die
I his draw and I shot him Shot him six times just as fast as the would fly My gun is empty or more I would him Now there are others just him that want me to die
Their are coming my way How they hurt they hit me The makes me fall to the ground
is my strength, just the will left to fight I hear the sound of the lead as it me of life If I die, let me find Socorro Let me hold on to her hand for the few left
Blindly I search and it in vain I touch the soft hand and it eases the pain Life is no but we're together in death she's my lover, it's over, goodbye
