north of the border of old mexico

i rode one day to the

cowtown of san angelo

a hot sun was glowing

a warm wind was blowing

still not as warm as the lips

that i waited to kiss

cheeks that would

blush in red roses to shame

lips that were fresher

than flowers when kissed by the rain

dark eyes that sparkled much

brighter than diamonds

she was a beauty

socorro was my lovers name

i met her down in lorado

everyone there in this border

town called her the rose

mexican cowboys drank to socorro

everyone loved her

but i was the one that she chose

an outlaw above all the rest

now my heart beats so madly

soon she will be at my side

she sent a message a long time ago

socorro had promised to

meet me at san angelo

i was aware of the chance i was taking

i was an outlaw

but great was my love for this girl

i must be with her

i can't stay away

nights spent without her are lonely

and so are the days

if it means death

then i'll have to chance it

only a few moments more

and she'll be in my arms

at ten o'clock in the morning

i tied my horse and i started

to walk down the street

where was socorro had she forgotten

this was the day and the hour

that she wanted to meet

but something is wrong with our plans

and i fear death awaits me

here on this hot dusty street

up on a housetop but still i can see

there hides a man with a rifle

it's pointed at me

i might escape from the man with a rifle

but there are others

just like him that i cannot see

back of each window the click of a gun

die if i stay and

my love for her won't let me run

where is socorro

will my eyes see her

then in a moment she runs

from a door down the street

up on your horse

she is crying

ride out of town

it's a trap and they're waiting for you

but if i ride out

she must ride with me

then in a moment i know

that our chances are gone

for a bullet is well on its way

and it finds my socorro

she dies as she falls in my arms

tears dim my vision

but plainly i see

the ranger that killed her is

standing there waiting for me

i walk to meet him my one

thought is beat him

he deserves death and i swear

that this ranger will die

i beat his draw and i shot him

shot him six times

just as fast as the bullets would fly

my gun is empty or more i would shoot him

now there are others

just like him that want me to die

their bullets are coming my way

how they hurt when they hit me

the pain makes me fall to the ground

gone is my strength

just the will left to fight

i hear the sound of the lead

as it robs me of life

if i must die

let me find socorro

let me hold on to her

hand for the few moments left

blindly i search and it isn't in vain

i touch the soft velvet

hand and it eases the pain

life is no more but we're together

even in death she's my lover

it's over goodbye
