Meet Me Tonight In Laredo Lyrics - No. 1 Cowboy - Marty Robbins

Meet Me Tonight in Laredo Lyrics 

She met him one night in Laredo just a wild comanchero they say 

They told her that he'd been an outlaw and she'd have to send him away 

They warned her of toil and of hardships and a life filled with heartaches and tears 

Then one day he sent her a message the one she'd been waiting to hear 

Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low 

Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico 

The night as they slipped through the darkness 

To the trail where their horses were tied 

He whispered a prayer for tomorrow that she would be safe by his side 

She smiled as they climbed in the saddle and as swift as a wild prairie wind 

They rode to the Madre Sierra repeating these words once again 

Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low 

Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico. 

Now in their own hacienda in the glow of a soft candle light 

The hands that once held a sixgun are holding their baby tonight 

She echoes his God will go with us and at night when the moon's hanging low 

She smiles as she fondly remembers the words he had said long ago 

Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low 

Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico
