North of the of Old Mexico I rode one day to the cowtown of San A hot sun was glowing, a warm was blowing not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss
Cheeks would blush in red roses to shame Lips that were fresher flowers when kissed by the rain Dark eyes sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, was my lovers name
I met her in Lorado Everyone there in this border town her the 'Rose' Mexican drank to Socorro loved her but I was the one that she chose
An above all the rest Now my heart beats so Soon she be at my side
She sent a message a long ago Socorro had to meet 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 away Nights spent her are lonely and so are the days If it death then I'll have to chance it Only a few moments more and she'll be in my
At ten o' clock in the I tied my horse and I started to walk down the Where was Socorro, had she was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet
But something is wrong with our And I death awaits me on this hot dusty street
Up on a but still I can see There a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me I might escape the man with a rifle But are others just like him that I cannot see
Back of each 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 she runs from a door down the street
"Up on horse", she is crying "Ride out of town, it's a and they're waiting for you" But if I ride out, she ride with me Then in a moment I that our chances are gone
For a bullet is on its way And it finds my She dies as she falls in my
dim my vision but plainly I see The ranger that killed her is standing there for me I walk to meet him, my one is 'Beat him' He deserves death and I swear that ranger will die
I beat his and I shot him Shot him six times just as as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or more I would him Now there are others just him that want me to die
bullets are coming my way How they hurt when hit me The makes 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 hand for the few left
Blindly I search and it isn't in 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
