North of the border of Old I one day to the cowtown of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm wind was Still not as warm as the that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that blush in red roses to shame Lips that were fresher than flowers when by the rain Dark eyes sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Socorro was my name
I met her in Lorado Everyone in this border town called her the 'Rose' Mexican drank to Socorro Everyone loved her but I was the one that she
An outlaw above all the Now my heart so madly Soon she be at my side
She sent a a long time ago Socorro had promised to me at San Angelo I was aware of the chance I was I was an outlaw but great was my love for this
I be with her, I can't stay away Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the If it means death then have to chance it a few moments more and she'll be in my arms
At ten o' clock in the I tied my horse and I started to walk down the was Socorro, had she forgotten This was the day and the hour that she wanted to
But something is wrong our plans And I fear awaits me Here on this hot dusty
Up on a but still I can see There a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I might from the man with a rifle But there are others just him that I cannot see
Back of each the click of a gun Die if I stay and my for her won't let me run Where is Socorro, my eyes see her Then in a moment she runs from a door 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 ride with me Then in a I know that our chances are gone
For a is well on its way And it finds my She dies as she in my arms
Tears dim my vision but I see The ranger that killed her is standing there for me I walk to him, my one thought is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I swear that this ranger die
I his draw 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 there are others just him that want me to die
bullets are coming my way How they hurt they hit me The pain me fall to the ground
Gone is my strength, just the will to fight I the sound of the lead as it robs me of life If I die, let me find Socorro Let me hold on to her for the few moments left
Blindly I and it isn't in vain I touch the soft velvet and it eases the pain Life is no but we're together in death she's my lover, it's over, goodbye
