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 lips that I to kiss
Cheeks that would in red roses to shame Lips that were fresher than when kissed by the rain Dark eyes that much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers
I met her in Lorado Everyone there in border town called her the 'Rose' Mexican cowboys to Socorro Everyone loved her but I was the one that she
An outlaw above all the Now my heart so madly she will be at my side
She sent a message a long ago Socorro had to meet me at San Angelo I was aware of the chance I was I was an outlaw but great was my love for girl
I be with her, I can't stay away spent without her are lonely and so are the days If it means death then I'll have to it Only a few more and she'll be in my arms
At ten o' clock in the I tied my horse and I started to down the street Where was Socorro, had she was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet
But something is with our plans And I fear awaits me on this hot dusty street
Up on a but still I can see hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I escape from the man with a rifle But there are others just like him that I 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, it's a trap and waiting for you" But if I ride out, she must ride me Then in a moment I know our chances are gone
For a bullet is on its way And it my Socorro She dies as she in my arms
Tears dim my vision but I see The ranger that killed her is standing waiting for me I to meet 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 or more I would shoot him Now there are others like him that want me to die
Their bullets are my way How they hurt when hit me The pain me fall to the ground
Gone is my strength, just the left to fight I hear the sound of the as it robs me of life If I must die, let me find Let me hold on to her for the few moments left
I search and it isn't in vain I touch the soft velvet and it eases the pain Life is no more but together in death she's my lover, it's over, goodbye
