"Pistolero" lyrics - ROY ORBISON

Pistolero, Pistolero, where do you ride
Pistolero, Pistolero, you ride alone tonight

One of brothers five one day
Vowed to try and make his way
Joined a cattle drive to Mexico
Threw in with some banditos
Yeah, he learned their lingo
Killed a man, they call him Pistolero

Five thousand pesos they put on your head
Five thousand pesos to get you alive or dead

Ride on, ride hard young vaquero
Fast as you can to her side
Aw, but por mucho dinero
El no bueno por nada have died

Pistolero, Pistolero, where do you roam
Pistolero, Pistolero, on your way home

Pistolero, Pistolero, where do you ride
Pistolero, Pistolero, you ride alone tonight

Every night a candle burns
Waiting there for your return
The candle is out, Pistolero
I see the cabin down below
Pistolero, let her go
Tonight you're mine, pistolero

Five thousand pesos they put on your head
Five thousend pesos to get you alive or dead

Ah, Pistolero, look around you
Your sun has set in the sky
Ah, Pistolero, I've found you
Kiss Maria, tell Maria goodbye

Pistolero, Pistolero, lay your head down
Pistolero, Pistolero, six feet under ground
