North of the of Old Mexico I rode one day to the of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a wind was blowing Still not as as the lips that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that blush in red roses to shame Lips that 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 down in there in this border town called her the 'Rose' Mexican cowboys to Socorro Everyone loved her but I was the one she chose
An outlaw above all the Now my heart beats so Soon she be at my side
She sent a message a long ago had promised to meet me at San Angelo I was aware of the I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for this
I must be 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 Only a few moments more and she'll be in my
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 to meet
But something is wrong our plans And I death awaits me on this hot dusty street
Up on a housetop but I can see hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I escape from the man with a rifle But are others just like him that I cannot see
Back of each window the of a gun Die if I stay and my love for her let me run Where is Socorro, my eyes see her in a moment she runs 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 our chances are gone
For a is well on its way And it finds my She as she falls in my arms
Tears dim my but plainly I see The that killed her is standing there waiting for me I walk to meet him, my one is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I that this ranger will die
I beat his draw and I him Shot him six times as fast as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or more I shoot him Now are others just like him that want me to die
bullets are coming my way How they hurt they hit me The pain makes me to the ground
Gone is my strength, just the will left to I the sound of the lead 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 velvet hand and it eases the pain Life is no more but we're Even in death she's my lover, over, goodbye
