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 as the lips that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that would blush in red to shame Lips that were fresher than flowers kissed by the rain Dark eyes sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers
I met her down in Everyone there in this border town called her the Mexican cowboys drank to loved her but I was the one that she chose
An outlaw above all the Now my heart so madly Soon she will be at my
She sent a a long time ago Socorro had promised to me at San Angelo I was of the chance I was taking I was an outlaw but was my love for this girl
I must be with her, I can't stay Nights spent her are lonely and so are the days If it means death then have to chance it a few moments more and she'll be in my arms
At ten o' in the morning I my horse 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 with our plans And I fear awaits me on this hot dusty street
Up on a but still I can see There hides a man with a rifle, pointed at me I might escape from the man with a But there are just like him that I cannot see
Back of each the click of a gun Die if I stay and my love for her let me run is Socorro, will 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, a trap and they're waiting for you" But if I ride out, she must ride me in a moment I know that our chances are gone
For a bullet is on its way And it my Socorro She as she falls in my arms
Tears dim my but plainly I see The ranger that killed her is standing waiting for me I walk to meet him, my one is 'Beat 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 I would shoot him Now there are others like him that want me to die
Their are coming my way How they when they hit me The pain me fall to the ground
Gone is my strength, just the will left to I hear the of the lead as it robs me of life If I must die, let me Socorro Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments
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
