North of the border of Old I one day to the cowtown of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm was blowing Still not as warm as the lips I waited to kiss
Cheeks that would blush in red roses to that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain Dark eyes that sparkled brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, was my lovers name
I met her in Lorado Everyone in this border town called her the 'Rose' cowboys drank to Socorro Everyone loved her but I was the one she chose
An outlaw all the rest Now my beats so madly Soon she will be at my
She sent a message a long ago had promised to meet me at San Angelo I was aware of the chance I was I was an outlaw but was my love for this girl
I must be with her, I can't away Nights spent her are lonely and so are the days If it death then I'll have to chance it Only a few moments and she'll be in my arms
At ten o' in the morning I tied my and I started to walk down 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 this hot dusty
Up on a but still I can see There hides a man with a rifle, it's at me I might escape from the man a rifle But there are others just like him that I see
of each window the click of a gun Die if I stay and my love for her let me run Where is Socorro, my eyes see her Then in a moment she runs from a down 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 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 but plainly I see The ranger that her is standing there waiting for me I walk to meet him, my one is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I swear that this will die
I beat his draw and I him him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or more I shoot him Now there are just like him that want me to die
bullets are coming my way How hurt when they hit me The pain makes me fall to the
Gone is my strength, just the will left to 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
I search and it isn't in vain I touch the soft hand and it eases the pain Life is no more but together Even in death my lover, it's over, goodbye
