North of the of Old Mexico 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 would blush in red roses to Lips that fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain Dark eyes that sparkled brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers
I met her in Lorado Everyone there in this border town called her the Mexican 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 be at my side
She sent a message a time ago Socorro had to meet me at San Angelo I was aware of the I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for girl
I must be her, I can't stay away spent without her are lonely and so are the days If it means death I'll have to chance it Only a few moments more and be in my arms
At ten o' in the morning I tied my horse and I to walk down the street Where was Socorro, had she This was the day and the hour that she to meet
But is wrong with our plans And I fear awaits me Here on 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 a rifle But there are others like him that I cannot see
of each window 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 she runs from a door down the street
"Up on horse", she is crying "Ride out of town, it's a trap and waiting for you" But if I out, she must ride with me in a moment I know that our chances are gone
For a is well on its way And it my Socorro She dies as she in my arms
Tears dim my but plainly I see The ranger killed her is standing there waiting for me I walk to him, my one thought is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I swear that this ranger die
I beat his and I shot him Shot him six times just as as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or I would shoot him Now there are others just like him that me to die
bullets are coming my way How they when they hit me The pain makes me fall to the
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 soft velvet and it eases the pain Life is no but we're together Even in death she's my lover, it's over,
