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 hangin' 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 hangin' low.

Meet me tonight in Laredo,

We'll soon be in old Mexico.

Now in their own hacienda

In the glow of a soft candlelight,

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 hangin' low."

She smiles as she fondly remembers

The words he had said long ago.

Meet me tonight in Laredo,

Wait till the moon's hangin' low.

Meet me tonight in Laredo,

We'll soon be in old Mexico.
