Flashing dark eyes has Carlena laughter so pleasant to hear The wind in the trees sighed Carlena Ive not seen her for almost a year Ill cross the river at Waco and then Ill ride like the wind Ill change horses at the rancho of Jose Gomez my good friend Ruby red lips has Carlena red as the rose in her hair To be in the arms of Carlena is a pain in my heart I cant bear I see the lights of the rancho but whos standing there in the door Carlena and Jose embracing oh who can you trust anymore I stood in the shadows a moment watched Jose kissing my wife Theyll bury him in the morning hell pay for that kiss with his life My hand went quick for my pistol the bullet went straight for his head But he moved the very same moment and it reached Carlena instead Before Jose knew what had happened one more shot rang out in the dark I knew by the way he was falling the bullet had went to his heart Now I got no reason for living so Ill just ride on to Juarez And Ill drink till I cant remember Carlena and Jose Gomez
