lyrics

Niño

Angel’s traveling home, to Juarez Mexico
They didn’t bring him a horse, but they made sure there’s plenty rope
A photo in his coat, a gift from Amarillo
It’s wrapped up with the note, that doomed him to the gallows pole
and it reads

I know I’ve got my demons, no I ain’t no saint
Reckon you had your reasons, I ain’t placing no blame
But if you answer my last plea my loss is your gain
Now that it’s time to be leavin, I won’t be here to raise Cain

Angel arrived too late, to save her from her fate
But he got there just in time, to be the one to have to pay
The marshal left them to pray, before they whisked him away
And said to angel speak up boy if you got any last words to say
But Angel just cried

I know I’ve got my demons, no I ain’t no saint
Reckon you got your reasons, I ain’t placing no blame
But if you answer my last plea my loss is your gain
Now that it’s time to be leavin, I won’t be here to raise Cain

An heirloom is all he’s got to hold onto, a handle carved with their names
A six shooter, he only plans on using two, the target of both are the same
Memories reminding him what he’s got to do, raised up by loss and by pain
Hatred providing his schooling as he learned and grew, vengeance was there to raise Cain

The boy is all grown up, got gravel in his gut
He keeps a photo in his coat and in his hand he’s got a gun

You know he’s got his demons, no he ain’t no saint
Reckon he’s got his reasons, can’t no one place no blame
He aims to hear that man’s last plea, and take all he’s gained
That marshal best be believin, he shoulda let them raise Cain
