Lyrics
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. ch Laredo ----- Laredo don't you cry for me. So Laredo----don't you cry for me. I'll be swinging from the hanging tree and out of my misery Inst. 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. ch
