Cross The Brazos At Waco Lyrics

(Chorus)Cross the Brazos at WacoRide hard and I'll make it by dawnCross the Brazos at WacoI'm safe when I reach San AntoneOn the Chisholm Trail it was midnightCarmella was strong on his mindBecause of the life he had chosenCarmella had left him behindToo long he'd been a banditoCarmella had left him aloneBut today someone brought a messageShe'd been seen in old San Antone(Repeat Chorus)Then the night came alive with gunfireHe knew that at last he'd been foundAs the range of badges shone brightlyA bandit a lay on the groundCarmella she knew he was dyingThat all of her dreams were in vainAs she kissed his lips for the last timeShe heard him whisper again(Repeat Chorus)
