Cross The Brazos At Waco

歌詞

On the Chisholm Trail it was midnight Carmela was strong on his mind Because of the life he had chosen Carmela had left then behind Too long he'd been a bandito Carmela had left him alone But today someone brought a message she'd be seen in old San Antone Cross the Brazos at Waco ride on and I make it by dawn Cross the Brazos at Waco I'm safe when I reach San Antone He glanced back over his shoulder the posee were nowhere in sight He'd sent for Carmela to meet him at the banks of the Brazos tonight She was waiting and he kept the promise he'd made such a long time ago As he dropped the guns that she hated in the mighty Brazos willow Cross the Brazos at Waco ride on and I make it by dawn Cross the Brazos at Waco I'll walk straight in old San Antone Then the night came alight with gun fire he knew that at last he'd been found As the ranger's band shoot brightly and bandito laid on the ground Carmela knew he was dying that all of her dreams were in vain As she kissed his lips for the last time she heard him whisper again Cross the Brazos at Waco ride on and I make it by dawn Cross the Brazos at Waco I'm safe when I reach San Antone I'm safe when I reach San Antone
