Lyrics
La Villa Santa Fe
Larry Carr (c) 2004
Gallows cold and still, Staring from the cell
Moments now before I meet my fate
My only alibi, Husband by her side
The sheriff de la Villa Santa Fe
(Chorus)
Oh, Margarita
The tears you cry are only shed in vain
Oh, Margarita
Listen to my heart cry out your name
For the final time, I journey in my mind
To the night I touched your gentle olive skin
All I?m guilty of, is our forbidden love
We vowed to never speak of our great sin
Oh, Margarita
The tears you cry are only shed in vain
Oh, Margarita
Listen to my heart cry out your name
Trap drops beneath my feet, a shot out in the street
I gasp for breath and watch your body lay
Standing is the man, pistola in his hand
The sheriff de la Villa Santa Fe
Oh, Margarita
The tears you cried were only shed in vain
Oh, Margarita
Listen to my heart cry out your name
(Solo)
Gallows cold and still, staring from the cell
The sheriff de la Villa Santa Fe
