North of the of Old Mexico I rode one day to the of San Angelo A hot sun was glowing, a warm was blowing not as warm as the lips 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 much brighter diamonds She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers
I met her in Lorado Everyone there in this border town her the 'Rose' Mexican cowboys drank to Everyone loved her but I was the one that she
An outlaw above all the Now my beats so madly Soon she be at my side
She sent a message a long ago Socorro had promised to me at San Angelo I was aware of the I was taking I was an outlaw but was my love for this girl
I must be with her, I stay away Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the 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 tied my horse and I started to walk down the Where was Socorro, had she This was the day and the hour that she wanted to
But something is wrong with our And I fear death me Here on hot dusty street
Up on a housetop but I can see There hides a man with a rifle, pointed at me I might escape from the man with a But there are others just like him that I see
of each window the click of a gun Die if I stay and my for her won't 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 with me Then in a moment I know that our are gone
For a is well on its way And it my Socorro She dies as she in my arms
Tears dim my vision but I see The ranger that killed her is there waiting for me I walk to him, my one thought is 'Beat him' He death and I swear that this ranger will die
I his draw 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 him that want me to die
Their are coming my way How they when they hit me The makes me fall to the ground
Gone is my strength, just the will to fight I hear the 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
Blindly I and it isn't in vain I the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain is no more but we're together Even in she's my lover, it's over, goodbye
