1
A long time ago in the small border town of Nogalas
2
There lived a beautiful Mexican girl named Ava Maria Morales
3
Her dark hair would glisten and shine when touched by the sun
4
And she loved a cowboy that told her he worked
5
On a ranch just outside of Tucson
6
Diamonds he gave to her caused many people to say
7
How could he give her such diamonds as these on thirty a month cowboy pay
8
She paid no attention to what they said or what they did
9
'Cause she never doubted he worked on a ranch
10
Out of Tucson, just like he said
11
Then to Nogalas, one mormin', came ridin' a stranger
12
He wore a badge on the front of his vest, the new one in town was a Ranger
13
And he showed some pictures of outlaws and bandits he chased
14
And one of the pictures caused Ava Maria
15
To turn with fear on her face
16
Ava Maria
17
It's true what they said
18
Your cowboy's an outlaw
19
With a price on his head
20
The Ranger left town on the trail of the outlaws he hunted
21
Ava Maria prayed he'd never catch the cowboy she loved and she wanted
22
'Cause deep in her heart she beleived that the Ranger was wrong
23
The outlaw just looked like the cowboy that worked
24
On the ranch just outside of Tucson
25
True love would never let Ava Maria believe it
26
And there in her window each evenin' she'd light
27
A candle and hoped he would see it
28
The years turned her dark hair to silver but love still lived on
29
She prayed every night for the cowboy that worked
30
On the ranch just outside of Tucson
31
One night the town of Nogalas was saddened to see
32
The window where Ava Maria would watch was dark where a light used to be
33
Some love stories live for a while and then they are gone
34
For over a century the story of Ava Maria has lived on and on
35
Ava Maria
36
If your spirit lives on
37
I hope you have found him
38
At the ranch just outside of Tucson
Ave Maria Morales
