Cross The Brazos At Waco
~ Billy Walker (1964)
Originally in the key of D.
COn the Chisolm Trail it was midnight
Carmella was strong on his G7mind
Because of the life he had chosen
Carmella had left him beChind
Too long, he had been El Bandito
Carmella had C7left him Falone
But today someone brought a Cmessage
She had G7been seen in ol' San An-Ctone
CHORUS:
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
TAG: I'm G7safe when I reach San An-Ctone
