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 be 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 were 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 mighty 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 Then the night came alive with gun fire He knew that at last he'd been found As the rangers' badges shone brightly And bandito lay 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
