North of the border of Old I rode one day to the cowtown of San A hot sun was glowing, a warm was blowing Still not as warm as the that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that blush in red roses to shame Lips that were than flowers when kissed by the rain Dark eyes sparkled much brighter than diamonds She was a beauty, Socorro was my name
I met her in Lorado Everyone in this border town called her the 'Rose' cowboys drank to Socorro Everyone loved her but I was the one she chose
An outlaw above all the Now my heart beats so Soon she be at my side
She a message a long time ago Socorro had promised to meet me at San I was of the chance I was taking I was an outlaw but great was my love for this
I must be her, I can't stay away Nights spent without her are and so are the days If it means death then I'll have to it Only a few moments more and she'll be in my
At ten o' in the morning I my horse and I started to walk down the street was Socorro, had she forgotten This was the day and the hour that she wanted to
But something is wrong our plans And I fear awaits me on this hot dusty street
Up on a housetop but I can see There hides a man a rifle, it's pointed at me I might escape from the man with a But there are others just like him I cannot see
Back of window the click of a gun Die if I and my love for her won't let me run is Socorro, will my eyes see her Then in a moment she runs from a door the street
"Up on your horse", she is "Ride out of town, it's a trap and they're for you" But if I out, she must ride with me Then in a moment I know our chances are gone
For a is well on its way And it my Socorro She dies as she falls in my
Tears dim my but plainly I see The that killed her is standing there waiting for me I walk to meet him, my one thought is 'Beat He deserves death and I swear that this will die
I beat his and I shot him Shot him six times just as as the bullets would fly My gun is empty or I would shoot him Now there are others just like him want me to die
Their are coming my way How hurt when they hit me The pain me fall to the ground
is my strength, just the will left to fight I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of If I must die, let me Socorro Let me hold on to her hand for the few left
Blindly I and it isn't in vain I touch the soft hand and it eases the pain Life is no more but together Even in she's my lover, it's over, goodbye
