Two Hearts in Terlingua - Jon Wolfe

A full moon cast a shadow cross the mountain

Of an old Texas ghost town 1865

Where he swore this one last run then he’s done forever

And she’d be his bride

On a painted horse at midnight he left her cryin'

To rendezvous with a union wagon train

That was loaded with a cache of payroll gold mint he aimed to claim

As he rode on through the starlit dust before him her love remained

There’s two hearts in Terlingua carved onto a stone

The legend round here lingers of the Dos Corazones

He was just an old bandito who stole a young girls hand

Two hearts in Terlingua

Who’s love will never end

Now the story goes the train was fast and guarded

But his horse was strong and his aim was tried and true

So he fled with gold filled bags and a band of law men in pursuit

He was hidden in a cave out in the big bend

Where a half Comanche Ranger tracked him down

The sting of missing her went even deeper than that silver round

And he took off like an eagle flying high as his blood ran out

There’s two hearts in Terlingua carved onto a stone

The legend round here lingers of the Dos Corazones

He was just an old bandito who stole a young girls hand

Two hearts in Terlingua

Who’s love will never end

Viejas say the wind it drove her crazy

Cause all she heard was his voice when it moaned

Her silhouette was last seen on the mesa and she was gone

Her mother cried and cursed her outlaw lover

Who left her there to bear her pain that way

So she carved out a marker for her daughter without a grave

One heart for the young girl and then one for the unborn babe

There’s two hearts in Terlingua carved onto a stone

The legend round here lingers of the Dos Corazones

He was just an old bandito who stole a young girls hand

Two hearts in Terlingua

Who’s love will never end

Two hearts in Terlingua

Never end

Two hearts in Terlingua

Never end
