Lyrics:

C G7 C
In a village not far from the border of old Mexico
G7 C
I wandered one night for reasons that I'll never know
F
I guess that the thought of a woman was strong on my mind
C G7 C
And when there's a woman there's always danger behind

F
In Del Rio Del Rio a town that's as cruel as can be
G7 C
Del Rio Del Rio is this the last place I'll see

G7 C
The town was asleep except for one lone cabaret
G7 C
I ordered tequila and a song that the band would soon play
F
She grabbed at my coat and said that this dance would be mine
C G7 C
He reached for his knife and I knew that I hadn't much time

Repeat #2

G7 C
I grabbed at my gun and fired as he threw his knife
G7 C
My bullet went crashing and instantly took out his life
F
But my movement was slow and his knife went right where he threw
C G7 C
She's standing there laughing while I lie here unable to move

Repeat #2
