Sam Palladio Adios Old Friend Lyrics

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
I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so, old friend

Outside these bars, I hear that mission bell
That hangman waits to send me straight to Hell
Oh, this ain't where I thought our trail would end
Adios, old friend

Do angels sing for outlaws, I don't know
I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so, old friend

Maybe we'll one day ride again
Adios, old friend
Adios, old friend
