AmPablo Escavado took MaCria for his bride DmDead of winter 188F5 A Ambitter snow was falling as a Cdozen ragged men SurDmrounded the little chapel, Ftrapping Pablo in
They called out ?Surrender or we?ll burn the whole place down.? Pablo whispered ?Death can?t hurt me know? ?Stay here my Maria, and remember me this way? Then he kissed her lips and they dragged him away. Chorus:
She Fheard him, Gcalling to her ?Sweet FMaria, can you Chear me?? GMuffled echoes up and down the Amfrozen canyon walls ?MaFria, how I Clove you.? Till the Glonesome sound had nowhere else to Dmgo And it was Dmswallowed in the CJanuary Amsnow C Dm F
Silence fell; the solemn priest said ?God will avenge my child? Maria just stared right through him, hollow eyed and wild Stumbling into the muddy street she lifted her eyes to see, The twisting awkward silhouette now still beneath the tree No one dared to touch her and she left her lover there And ran down to the river, with the wind whipping her hair The snowflakes swirled behind her like the finest flowing train And the north wind moaned and whispered, as if it knew her name Chorus 2: she swore she, still heard him calling ?Sweet Maria, can you hear me?? Muffled echoes up and down the frozen canyon wall ?Maria, how I love you? Till she reached the edge of the river far below And leapt into the January snow If you?re ever down in Texas in the January snow And you hear a mournful whisper in the North wind as it blows You may feel the lonesome presence of a lady all in white Weeping in the distance, just out of your sight Chorus 1
