Cross The Brazos At Waco (Single Version) - Billy Walker

作词：Kay Arnold

作曲：Kay Arnold

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 hard and I'll 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 was nowhere in sight

He'd sent for Carmela to meet him

On 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 hard and I'll make it by dawn

Cross the Brazos at Waco

I'll reach 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

El 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 hard and I'll 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
