PISTOLERO
Pistolero, pistolero,
where do you ride?
Pistolero, pistolero,
you ride alone tonight
One of brothers five, one day
vowed to try to make his way,
joined the cattle drive to Mexico
Threw in with some banditos,
here he learned their lingo
Killed a man, they called him
pistolero
Five thousand pesos they put on your head
Five thousand pesos to get you alive
or dead
Ride on, ride hard young vaquero,
fast as you can to her side
Ah, but por mucho dinero,
el noveno, por nada,
have died
Pistolero, pistolero,
where do you roam?
Pistolero, pistolero,
on your way home
Every night a candle burns,
waiting there for your return
The candle is out, pistolero
I see the cabin down below
Pistolero, let her go
Tonight you're mine,
pistolero
Five thousand pesos they put on your head
Five thousand pesos to get you alive
or dead
Ah, pistolero, look around you,
your sun has set in the sky
Oh, pistolero, I found you
Kiss Maria, tell Maria
goodbye
Pistolero, pistolero,
lay your head down
Pistolero, pistolero,
six feet underground
