North of the of Old Mexico I rode one day to the of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a wind was blowing not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that would blush in red roses to Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers
I met her down in there in this border town called her the 'Rose' Mexican cowboys drank to Everyone loved her but I was the one 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 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 girl
I must be her, I can't stay away Nights spent her are lonely and so are the days If it means death then have to chance it Only a few moments and she'll be in my arms
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 she wanted to meet
But is wrong with our plans And I fear awaits me Here on this hot street
Up on a housetop but I can see There hides a man with a rifle, pointed at me I escape from the man with a rifle But there are others just like him I cannot see
Back of each the click of a gun Die if I and my love for her won't let me run Where is Socorro, my eyes see her Then in a moment she runs a door 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 with me Then in a I know that our chances are gone
For a bullet is on its way And it finds my She as she falls in my arms
Tears dim my but plainly I see The ranger killed 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 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 just like him that want me to die
bullets are coming my way How they hurt when hit me The pain makes me to the ground
is my strength, just the will left to fight I hear the of the lead as it robs me of life If I die, let me find Socorro Let me on to her hand for the few moments left
Blindly I search and it in vain I touch the soft velvet hand and it the pain Life is no more but we're Even in death my lover, it's over, goodbye
