Cross The Brazosa At Waco (1964) Lyrics

On the Chisholm Trail it was midnight, Camellia was strong on his mind

 Because of the life he had chosen, Camellia had left him behind

 Too long hed been El Bandito; Camellia had left him alone

 But today someone wrote a message; shed been seen in old San Antone

 

 Cross the Brazos at Waco ride hard and Ill make it by dawn

 Cross the Brazos at Waco Im safe when I reach San Antone

 

 He glanced back over his shoulder; the posse was nowhere in sight

 Hed sent for Camellia to meet him, on the banks of the Brazos tonight

 She was waiting and he kept the promise, hed 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 Ill make it by dawn

 Cross the Brazos at Waco Ill walk straight in old San Antone

 

 Then the night came alive with gunfire, he knew that at last hed been found

 As the rangers badge shown brightly, El Bandito lay on the ground

 Camellia knew he was dieing, 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 Ill make it by dawn

 Cross the Brazos at Waco Im safe when I reach San Antone

 Im safe when I reach San Antone
