Del rio dan

He’s an outlaw
The devil’s friend
He is good, he is bad
Bound to do what he can
Ain’t been nothin’ like him, since the Billy the Kid
C C Younger was his best friend
They shared the same women
And they met the same end
Worked midnights together, at the river bend
Back-packin’ kilos,
‘Cross the Rio Grande
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
By the Federales and My-oh-My Queens*
Spends his nights walkin’ in the Villa Cuna sand
Waitin’ in the Canebrake, for José to come ø
Knowing that at daybreak, they must be gone
All across the river
To the Texas sun
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
With a Stetson hat
And a snakeskin band
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
By the Federales and My oh My Queens*
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
With a Stetson hat
And a snakeskin band…..
