San Angelo Written and recorded by Marty Robbins
G North of the border of Old Mexico D7 I rode one day to the cow town of San Angelo
A hot sun was glowing a warm wind was blowing G Still not as warm as the lips that I waited to kiss
Cheeks that put blushing red roses to shame D7 Lips that were fresher than flowers when kissed by the rain
Dark eyes that sparkled much brighter than diamonds G She was a beauty Secora was my lover's name
C I met her down in Laredo G Everyone there in this border town called her the rose
Mexican cowboys drank to Secora C Everyone loved her but I was the one that she chose D7 G D7 An outlaw above all the rest now my heart beats so madly G Soon she will be at my side
She sent a message a long time ago D7 Secora had promised to meet me in San Angelo
I was aware of the chance I was taking G I was an outlaw but great was my love for this girl
I must be with her I can't stay away D7 Nights spent without her are lonely and so are the days
If it means death then I'll have to chance it G Only a few moments more and she'll be in my arms
C At ten o'clock in the morning G I tied my horse and I started to walk down the street
Where was Secora had she forgotten C This was the day and the hour that she wanted to meet D7 G D7 But something is wrong with our plans and I fear death awaits me G Here on this hot dusty street
Up on a housetop but still I can see D7 There hides a man with the rifle it's pointed at me
I might escape from the man with the rifle G But there are others just like him that I cannot see
Back of each window the click of a gun D7 Die if I stay and my love for her won't let me run
Where is Secora will my eyes see her G Then in a moment she runs from her door down the street
C Up on your horse she is crying G Ride out of town it's a trap and they're waiting for you
But if I ride out she must ride with me C Then in a moment I know that our chances are gone D7 G D7 For a bullet is well on its way and it finds my Secora G She dies as she falls in my arms
Tears dim my vision but plainly I see D7 The ranger that killed her is standing there waiting for me
I walk to meet him my one thought is beat him G He deserves death and I swear that this ranger will die
C I beat his draw and I shot him G Shot him six times just as fast as the bullets would fly
My gun is empty or more I would shoot him C Now there are others just like him that want me to die D7 G D7 Their bullets are coming my way how they hurt when they hit me G The pain makes me fall to the ground
Gone is my strength just the will left to fight D7 I hear the sound of the lead as it robs me of life
If I must die let me find Secora G Let me hold on to her hand for the few moments left
Blindly I search and it isn't in vain D7 I touch the soft velvet hand and it eases the pain
Life is no more but we're together G Even in death she's my lover it's over goodbye
