He’s an outlaw
The devil’s friend
He is good, he is bad
Bound to do what he can
Ain’t been nothin’ like him, since the Billy the Kid
C C Younger was his best friend
They shared the same women
And they met the same end
Worked midnights together, at the river bend
Back-packin’ kilos,
‘Cross the Rio Grande
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
By the Federales and My-oh-My Queens*
Spends his nights walkin’ in the Villa Cuna sand
Waitin’ in the Canebrake, for José to come ø
Knowing that at daybreak, they must be gone
All across the river
To the Texas sun
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
With a Stetson hat
And a snakeskin band
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
By the Federales and My oh My Queens*
Del Rio Dan is a wanted man
With a Stetson hat
And a snakeskin band…..
