San Angelo Marty Robbins
North of the
border of Old Mexico
I rode one day to the
cowtown of San Angelo
A hot sun was glowing
a warm breeze was blowing
Still not as warm
as the lips that
I waited to kiss
Cheeks that would put
blushing roses to shame
Lips that would bloom
like flowers kissed
when by the rain
Dark eyes that sparkled
much brighter than diamonds
She was a beauty
Secora was my lovers name
I met her down in Loredo
every one down in that
border town
called her the rose
Mexican cowboys
danced with Secora
Every one loved her
but I was the one that
she chose
An outlaw above all the rest
now my heard beats so madly
Soon she will be at my side
She sent a message a
long time ago
Secora had promised to
meet me in 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 minutes more
and she'll be at my side
At ten o' clock
in the morning
I tied my horse and
I started to walk
down the street
Where was Secora
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 the 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 Secora
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 Secora
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 rise to meet him
my one thought it 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
