Letra da Música Juarez de Sheb Wooley

Juarez

South of the Texas town of El Paso
There's a little border town in Mexico
Someone is waiting in the chapel light
Waits for me tonight in Juarez
Juarez

In El Paso I bought a little golden band
The day had come to place it on Maria's hand
Some rowdy cowboy said let's have a drink or two
To the one who waits for you in Juarez

Then words were said that a man in love could never stand
In a flash I felt the gun leap in my hand
As he fell I thought about my wedding day
I turned and ran away to Juarez
Juarez

I saw the cowboys chasin' me and ridin' hard
I saw Maria waiting in the chapel yard
Straight to my arms she ran dressed in her veil of white
As gunfire lit the night in Juarez

I saw Maria fall there in the dusty street
Found by a bullet I knew was meant for me
With aching heart I realized her life was done
I turned to face the guns in Juarez
Juarez

Once more I see the deadly guns light up the night
I feel the dreadful burnin' pain so deep inside
As I fall my fingers touch the veil of white
I'll be with you tonight my love
Juarez Juarez
