One very gorgeous night
He got off his horse
To gaze at the stars
To remember his mother
On this night so gorgeous
In which the gunman was traveling
The horse returned
To town alone
[Chorus:]
Desert scorpion
You killed a good man unknowingly
With your little tail full of poison
A man dressed in black has fallen
You killed the gunman unknowingly
They searched and searched for him
Through the desert valleys
They found him by the rocks
With his eyes open
With a gun in one hand
The scorpion in the other
The gunman will defend no longer
[Chorus, 2x]
