1
North of the border of Old Mexico
2
I rode one day to the cowtown of San Angelo
3
A hot sun was glowing, a warm wind was blowing
4
Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss
5
Cheeks that would blush in red roses to shame
6
Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain
7
Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds
8
She was a beauty, Socorro was my lovers name
9
I met her down in Lorado
10
Everyone there in this border town called her the 'Rose'
11
Mexican cowboys drank to Socorro
12
Everyone loved her but I was the one that she chose
13
An outlaw above all the rest
14
Now my heart beats so madly
15
Soon she will be at my side
16
She sent a message a long time ago
17
Socorro had promised to meet me at San Angelo
18
I was aware of the chance I was taking
19
I was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl
20
I must be with her, I can't stay away
21
Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the days
22
If it means death then I'll have to chance it
23
Only a few moments more and she'll be in my arms
24
At ten o' clock in the morning
25
I tied my horse and I started to walk down the street
26
Where was Socorro, had she forgotten
27
This was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet
28
But something is wrong with our plans
29
And I fear death awaits me
30
Here on this hot dusty street
31
Up on a housetop but still I can see
32
There hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at me
33
I might escape from the man with a rifle
34
But there are others just like him that I cannot see
35
Back of each window the click of a gun
36
Die if I stay and my love for her won't let me run
37
Where is Socorro, will my eyes see her
38
Then in a moment she runs from a door down the street
39
"Up on your horse", she is crying
40
"Ride out of town, it's a trap and they're waiting for you"
41
But if I ride out, she must ride with me
42
Then in a moment I know that our chances are gone
43
For a bullet is well on its way
44
And it finds my Socorro
45
She dies as she falls in my arms
46
Tears dim my vision but plainly I see
47
The ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for me
48
I walk to meet him, my one thought is 'Beat him'
49
He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die
50
I beat his draw and I shot him
51
Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly
52
My gun is empty or more I would shoot him
53
Now there are others just like him that want me to die
54
Their bullets are coming my way
55
How they hurt when they hit me
56
The pain makes me fall to the ground
57
Gone is my strength, just the will left to fight
58
I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of life
59
If I must die, let me find Socorro
60
Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments left
61
Blindly I search and it isn't in vain
62
I touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain
63
Life is no more but we're together
64
Even in death she's my lover, it's over, goodbye
