[Verse 1]
You were headed for some border town
To find a Spanish rose and settle down
You hitched a ride on a southbound Mexican wind
Well, adios, old friend
[Verse 2]
Well, I heard you made it far as El Paso
But those Texas rangers would not let it go
They shot you down on the banks of the Rio Grande
Well, adios, old friend
[Chorus]
Do angels sing for outlaws?
I don't know
But I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so
Old friend
[Verse 3]
Outside these bars I hear that mission bell
That hangman waits to send me straight to Hell
Well, this ain't where I thought my trail would end
Adios, old friend
[Chorus]
Do angels sing for outlaws?
Well, I don't know
But I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so
Old friend
Maybe one day we'll ride again
(Maybe one day we'll ride again)
Adios, old friend
Adios, old friend
You were headed for some border town
To find a Spanish rose and settle down
You hitched a ride on a southbound Mexican wind
Well, adios, old friend
[Verse 2]
Well, I heard you made it far as El Paso
But those Texas rangers would not let it go
They shot you down on the banks of the Rio Grande
Well, adios, old friend
[Chorus]
Do angels sing for outlaws?
I don't know
But I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so
Old friend
[Verse 3]
Outside these bars I hear that mission bell
That hangman waits to send me straight to Hell
Well, this ain't where I thought my trail would end
Adios, old friend
[Chorus]
Do angels sing for outlaws?
Well, I don't know
But I know outlaws pray
And I pray it's so
Old friend
Maybe one day we'll ride again
(Maybe one day we'll ride again)
Adios, old friend
Adios, old friend
