Cross The Brazos At Waco (Single Version)

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 hed been a bandito Carmela had left him alone
But today someone brought a message shed be seen in old San Antone
Cross the Brazos at Waco ride hard and Ill make it by dawn
Cross the Brazos at Waco Im safe when I reach San Antone
He glanced back over his shoulder the posse were nowhere in sight
Hed sent for Carmela to meet him at the banks of the Brazos tonight
She was waiting and he kept the promise hed made such a long time ago
As he dropped the guns that she hated in the muddy Brazos below
Cross the Brazos at Waco ride hard and Ill make it by dawn
Cross the Brazos at Waco Ill walk straight in old San Antone
Then the night came alight with gun fire he knew that at last hed been found
As the rangers badge 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 Ill make it by dawn
Cross the Brazos at Waco Im safe when I reach San Antone
Im safe when I reach San Antone
