Laredo. copyright Jim Drake & Vic Arnold 2012
I rode a big black stallion across the Texas plains.
I was headin for old Mexico in a hard driving rain.
A gunfight in Laredo led to my downfall
Now I head for the bad lands --- running from the law
One way or another I'll pay for my sin.
When I cross the borderline I can't look back again.
I know I did wrong and I'll never get back home.
Cos a wanted man can never go to where he's coming from.

I'm mighty weary and lonesome. I'm getting saddle sore
I 'd like to to head back to Laredo and see my girl once more.
But I know the Texas rangers are looking for me still
and if I cross that Texas border I know that I'll be killed.
