Down in the town of Nuevo Laredo
The riders of Don Carlos came:
They kidnapped a captive to take to their leader,
And sweet Armaline was her name.
And I had to run,
I hadn’t a horse or a gun,
I was seventeen,
Like sweet Armaline.
I worked for a year, and I bought me a saddle,
A horse, and a gun of my own,
And everyone saw from the look in my eye, and
The way that I walked, I was grown.
Down Old Mexico,
I asked everyone, “Do you know,
Has anyone seen
My sweet Armaline?”
Inside a cantina I finally entered,
I knew that I wouldn’t look far:
A Mexican woman who looked six months pregnant,
Was wiping the beer from the bar.
She drew me a beer,
But otherwise wouldn’t come near,
My border-town queen,
It was Armaline.
Don Carlos came up with a Remington rifle,
But he bought my beer and he smiled;
I drank to his health, and I drank to his woman,
And drank to their soon-born child.
He said, “Better ride,
Or else commit suicide
If you come between—
Forget Armaline!”
My hand it was quick and my rifle was ready,
But Armaline laughed in my eyes;
I waved them farewell and I rode out of town then,
Back under wide-open skies.
The dream of your face, the touch of your hand.
I still remember your sweet scent.
The sun sets shade of the tree.
It shall move across your face as if only meant.
This memory engraved into my mind.
It might as well be set in stone.
You may lay in my arms;
As if to have you as my own.
Our lives move together,
an unexpected twist of fate.
In sweet serinity.
I may ask for your love to take.
Your hand in mine.
We shall sway in the silent night.
I will protect you, sheild you I swear!
From anything of fright.
We are forever together,
roots to never be upturned.
And then I wake up,
Something I'm afraid never will return.
This dream it haunts me.
Reminding me of what I'll never have.
Stabbing me in the heart;
Like a blade; a sharpened relapse.
