You were headed
For some border town

To find a Spanish rose
And settle down

You hitched a ride
On a southbound
Mexican wind

Adios old friend

I heard you made it
Far as El Paso

Those Texas rangers
Would not let it go

They tracked you down
On the banks
Of the Rio Grande

Adios old friend

Do angels sing for outlaws

I don't know

But I know outlaws pray
And I pray
It's so
Old friend

Adios old friend

Do angels sing for outlaws

I don't know

But I know outlaws pray
And I pray
It's so

Old friend

Adios old friend

Adios old friend
