San Angelo Testo

North of the border of Old MexicoI rode one day to the cowtown of San AngeloA hot sun was glowing, a hot breeze was blowingStill not as warm as the lips that I waited to kissShe sent a message a long time agoSecora had promised to meet me in San AngeloI was aware of the chance I was takingI was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl I must be with her I can't stay awayNights spent without her are lonely and so are the daysIf it means death then I'll have to chance itOnly a few minutes more and she'll be at my sideAt ten o' clock in the morningI tied my horse and I started to walk down the streetWhere was Secora, had she forgottenThis was the day and the hour that she wanted to meetBut something is wrong with our plans and I fear death awaits meHere on this hot dusty street. Up on a housetop but still I can seeThere hides a man with a rifle, it's pointed at meI might escape from the man with a rifleBut there are others just like him that I cannot see Back of each window the click of a gunDie if I stay and my love for her won't let me runWhere is Secora, will my eyes see herThen 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 meThen in a moment I know that our chances are goneFor a bullet is well on its way and it finds my SecoraShe cries as she falls in my arms Over and over her soft lips did say"Now we're together, I won't let them take you away"one little sigh, her little lips trembleThen it was over, Secora had drifted away Tears dim my vision but plainly I seeThe ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for meI rise to meet him, my one thought it beat himHe deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die I beat his draw and I shot himShot him six times just as fast as the bullets could flyMy gun is empty or more I would shoot himNow there are others just like him that want me to dieTheir bullets are coming my way, how they hurt when they hit meThe pain makes me fall to the ground. Gone is my strength, just the will left to fightI hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of lifeIf I must die, let me find SecoraLet me hold on to her hand for the few moments left Blindly I search and it isn't in vainI touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the painLife is no more but we're togetherEven in death she's my lover,it's over,goodbye
