There lived a beautiful Mexican girl named
Ava Maria Morales
Her dark hair would glisten and shine when touched by the sun
And she
loved a cowboy that told her he worked
ON a ranch just outside of Tucson
Diamonds he
gave to her caused many people to say
How could he give her such diamonds as these on thirty a
month cowboy pay
She paid no attention to what they said or what they did
'Cause she never
doubted he worked on a ranch
Out of Tucson, just like he said
Then to Nogalas, one
mormin', came ridin' a stranger
He wore a badge on the front of his vest, the new one in town
was a Ranger
And he showed some pictures of outlaws and bandits he chased
And one of the
pictures caused Ava Maria
To turn with fear on her face
Ava Maria
It's true
what they said
Your cowboy's an outlaw
With a price on his head
The Ranger left
town on the trail of the outlaws he hunted
Ava Maria prayed he'd never catch the cowboy she
loved and she wanted
'Cause deep in her heart she beleived that the Ranger was wrong
The
outlaw just looked like the cowboy that worked
On the ranch just outside of
Tucson
True love would never let Ava Maria believe it
And there in her window each
evenin' she'd light
A candle and hoped he would see it
The years turned her dark hair to
silver but love still lived on
She prayed every night for the cowboy that worked
On the
ranch just outside of Tucson
One night the town of Nogalas was saddened to see
The
window where Ava Maria would watch was dark where a light used to be
Some love stories live for
a while and then they are gone
For over a century the story of Ava Maria has lived on and
on
Ava Maria
If your spirit lives on
I hope you have found him
At the
ranch just outside of Tucson | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
