Gerardo Gonzalez

Everyone knew he was a gunslingerYa todos sabian que era pistolero
Everyone knew he was really braveYa todos sabian que era muy valiente
That's why the law didn't give him a chancePor eso las leyes ni tiempo le dieron
The day they took him out, cowardly and cruelEl día que a mansalva y cobardemente
He met his endLe dieron la muerte

He was locked up in Brownsville for a whileEn Brownsville estuvo un tiempo prisionero
And when he was sentenced, he broke out of thereY al ser sentenciado de ahí se fugo
He came back to Reynosa, his beloved hometownSe vino a Reynosa su pueblo querido
Gerardo Gonzalez, in a cowardly wayGerardo González en forma cobarde
Met his deathLa muerte encontro

He was determined, they feared himEra decidido miedo le tenian
His enemies and the copsSus enemigos y la policia
They shot him to piecesA punta de bala lo hicieron pedazos
He couldn't save himself, he had in his bodyNo pudo salvarse tenía en el cuerpo
Fourteen bullet woundsCatorce balazos

He was locked up in Brownsville for a whileEn Brownsville estuvo un tiempo prisionero
And when he was sentenced, he broke out of thereY al ser sentenciado de ahí se fugo
He came back to Reynosa, his beloved hometownSe vino a Reynosa su pueblo querido
Gerardo Gonzalez, in a cowardly wayGerardo González en forma cobarde
Met his deathLa muerte encontro

Fly, little dove, take the messageVuela palomita a llevar el mensaje
You’re leaving Reynosa for the American sideTe vas de Reynosa al lado americano
Tell everyone that they’ve killedLes cuentas a todos que le han dado muerte
A loyal comrade and gunslingerA un compañero y fiel pistolero
