Cross the Brazos at Waco
Ride hard and I make it by dawn
Cross the Brazos at Waco
I'm safe when I reach San Antone
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 a bandito
Carmela had left him alone
But today someone brought a message
She'd be seen in old San Antone
Cross the Brazos at Waco
Ride hard and I make it by dawn
Cross the Brazos at Waco
I'm safe when I reach San Antone
Then the night came alight with gunfire
He knew that at last he'd been found
As the ranger's band shoot brightly
And bandito laid on the ground
Carmela, 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
Cross the Brazos at Waco
Ride hard and I make it by dawn
Cross the Brazos at Waco
I'm safe when I reach San Antone
