Hank Snow - Cross The Brazos At Waco lyrics

rate me

(Chorus) 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 Carmella was strong on his mind Because of the life he had chosen Carmella had left him behind Too long he'd been a bandito Carmella had left him alone But today someone brought a message She'd been seen in old San Antone (Repeat Chorus) Then the night came alive with gunfire He knew that at last he'd been found As the range of badges shone brightly A bandit a lay on the ground Carmella 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 (Repeat Chorus)
