North of the border of Old I one day to the cowtown of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a wind was blowing Still not as warm as the lips I waited to kiss
that would blush in red roses to shame Lips that were fresher than flowers kissed by the rain Dark that sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, was my lovers name
I met her in Lorado Everyone there in this border town called her the Mexican cowboys to Socorro Everyone loved her but I was the one that she
An above all the rest 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 aware of the I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for girl
I must be with her, I can't away Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the If it means then I'll have to chance it a few moments more and she'll be in my arms
At ten o' in the morning I tied my horse and I started to down the street Where was Socorro, had she This was the day and the hour that she wanted to
But something is with our plans And I fear awaits 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 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 love for her let me run Where is Socorro, will my see her in a moment 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 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 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 thought is him' He deserves and I swear that this ranger will die
I beat his draw and I him Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets fly My gun is empty or I would shoot him Now there are just like him that want me to die
bullets are coming my way How they hurt they 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 Socorro Let me hold on to her for the few moments left
Blindly I and it isn't in vain I the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain Life is no but we're together Even in death my lover, it's over, goodbye
