Cross The Brazos At Waco Lyrics by Billy Walker


Billy Walker Lyrics

(Kay Arnold)

On the Chisholm Trail it was midnight
Carmela was strong on his mind
Because of the life he had chosen
Carmela had left him behind.

Too long he'd been el bandito
Carmela had left him alone
But today someone brought a message
She'd been seen in old San Antone.

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.

He glanced back over his shoulder
The posse was nowhere in sight
He'd sent for Carmela to meet him
On the banks of the Brazos tonight.

She was waiting and he kept the promise
He'd made such a long time ago
As he dropped the guns that she hated
In the muddy Brazos below.

Cross the Brazos at Waco
Ride hard and I'll make it by dawn
Cross the Brazos at Waco
I'll walk straight in old San Antone.

- Instrumental -

Then the night came alight with gun fire
He knew that at last he'd been found
As the ranger's band shoot rightly
El bandito laid on the ground.

Carmela 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.

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.

- Instrumental -

I'm safe when I reach San Antone...
