FCross the Brazos at Waco Ride hard and I'll make it by dawn CCross the Brazos at Waco I'm G7safe when I reach San An-Ctone
He glanced back over his shoulder
The posse was nowhere in G7sight He'd sent for Carmella to meet him On the banks of the Brazos toCnight She was waiting and he kept the promise He'd made such a C7long time aFgo As he dropped the guns that she Chated In the G7muddy Brazos beClow
Repeat CHORUS Then the night came alive with gunfire
He knew that at last he'd been G7found As the Rangers badge shone brightly El Bandito lay on the Cground Carmella knew he was dying That all of her dreams were Fin vain As she kissed his lips for the Clast time She heard G7him whisper aCgain
Repeat CHORUS
