Hank Snow - Cross the Brazos at Waco lyrics

Cross the Brazos at Waco ride hard and I'll make it by dawn Cross the Brazos at Waco I'm safe when I reach San Antone On the Chisholm Trail it was midnight Carmela was strong on his mind Because of the life he have chosen Carmela had left him behind Too long he'd been el bandito Carmela had left him alone But today someone brought a message she'd been seen in old San Antone Cross the Brazos at Waco... [ guitar ] Then the night came alight with gunfire he knew that at last he'd been found As the ranger's bad shoot rightly el bandito laid on the ground Carmela she 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...
