Hank Snow Cross The Brazos At Waco Lyrics

Cross The Brazos At Waco Lyrics

(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)
