Marty Robbins - Meet Me Tonight In Laredo lyrics

rate me

She met him one night in Laredo just a wild comanchero they say<br />

They told her that he'd been an outlaw and she'd have to send him away<br />

They warned her of toil and of hardships and a life filled with heartaches and tears<br />

Then one day he sent her a message the one she'd been waiting to hear<br />

Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low<br />

Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico<br />

<br />

The night as they slipped through the darkness<br />

To the trail where their horses were tied<br />

He whispered a prayer for tomorrow that she would be safe by his side<br />

She smiled as they climbed in the saddle and as swift as a wild prairie wind<br />

They rode to the Madre Sierra repeating these words once again<br />

Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low<br />

Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico.<br />

<br />

Now in their own hacienda in the glow of a soft candle light<br />

The hands that once held a sixgun are holding their baby tonight<br />

She echoes his God will go with us and at night when the moon's hanging low<br />

She smiles as she fondly remembers the words he had said long ago<br />

Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low<br />

Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico
